Masa B'Yachad Religious School

"JOURNEY TOGETHER"
In August 2019, Federation coordinated the formation of a combined religious school for grades Pre-K through 10, meeting in Munster.

​While Masa B'Yachad is designed to serve students from Congregation Beth Israel and Temple Beth-El, any family who is a member of a congregation in Lake or Porter County may choose to attend. 
Classes are meeting VIRTUALLY via Zoom for the fall 2020 semester. The school board committee will evaluate plans for spring 2021.

From Our Principal: Mindy Miller

Dear Parents, 

Welcome to our second year of Masa B’ Yachad Religious School! We are all very excited to begin another year of learning. 

During our first year, we had an unpredicted bump in the road with Covid-19 turning our world upside down! As we are still in the clutches of this awful virus, the school board of Masa B’Yachad has met many times, with quite a bit of discussion on the best way to keep everyone safe and continue our commitment to Jewish learning. Since both congregations remain closed for in-person services, that really made the decision for us. We will continue with Zoom learning for the first semester of Religious School and reevaluate the situation before the second semester begins.  

Zoom has made many improvements, one of which is “breakout rooms” – splitting up a meeting into separate sessions with smaller groups of participants. Using this feature will allow us to have everyone scheduled at the same time instead of staggering times. Sunday School will begin for all students at 9:00am, and Wednesday Hebrew School at 4:30pm. We are still working on the details; more information will come out before school starts.

  • Registration forms are now available for you to fill out online. You may also download a fillable PDF version and email it back to me.
  • Tuition payments should be made to your home congregation. Any financial questions should be directed to your congregational president.

​Even though we can’t hold school in person, we truly are grateful for the opportunity to teach your children virtually until the time that it is safe for us to all return together.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

L’ Shalom,
Mindy Miller
Principal
