Our School Principal, Ross Helford, will lead a discussion with current and prospective families about the importance, urgency, and value of a secular Jewish education – including its history and what it is today. We will also have an overview of our school, curriculum, didactic approach, bmitsve program*, teen/belfer program, and our multigenerational community offerings.

"The December Dilemma" Group Discussion
2025-12-14 10:30 - 12:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
Beginning at 10:30 a.m., there will be an Adult Activity for Sholem parents and community members.
Longtime Sholem members Laurie Braude and Lois Bostwick will facilitate a community discussion on “The December Dilemma,” which may arise from tension between the celebration of Chanukah and Christmas, especially when the two holidays coincide. This season can be challenging for many interfaith or intercultural families as they navigate the desire to honor their Jewish identity while also participating in the festive spirit of Christmas.
