As part of a new initiative for 2013-14, Congregation Anshei Israel is offering free tuition and is waiving the registration fee for religious school for kindergarten-age children. This offer is available to the entire community (members and non-members of the synagogue) and Anshei Israel is the only synagogue to do so in Tucson. Kindergarten and first Grade students attend class on Sundays 9 am to noon. Classes will be taught by Renee Hulsey, who was recently named “Outstanding Judaic Educator” by the Jewish Federation of Southern Arizona.
The religious school is directed by Assistant Rabbi Ben Herman. With a passion for Jewish education, Rabbi Herman values each relationship built with the student and his/her parent(s). “This is a wonderful opportunity for Jewish families,” said Rabbi Herman.
Senior Rabbi Robert Eisen is involved in the learning process of all children enrolled in CAI’s schools, from preschool through adult education programs. “We are very excited to offer this gateway to the synagogue in the hopes of enabling everyone to live meaningful Jewish lives,” stated Rabbi Eisen. The first day of school is Aug.18.
