Machar: the Washington Congregation for Secular Humanistic Judaism

6th Grade Class Area

B'nei Mitzvah Class Area

The Machar Jewish Cultural School's current curriculum was made possible through grants from from the Jewish Federation of Greater Washington DC Initiative in Congregational Education. It is a product of many teachers' and parents' efforts to create a Secular, Humanistic Jewish educational experience that helps children find and cherish an identity that fits them and their lives.  As a curriculum is meant to be, ours is dynamic and will evolve with the changing needs of our students.

It is our intention that the teaching of Jewish rituals and customs in the classroom will augmented by Machar’s family activity days and other congregational gatherings/services.
