Extended Program

Course descriptions for our extended program are now available by clicking here. We will be offering two extended courses each semester (either Tanach, Hebrew Language and / or Jewish Law), which will consist of preparatory work, a pre-recorded video from one of our JconnecT teachers, and a follow up assignment. Students may do the work at any time over the course of the week that works well for their schedule. See the link for more details.

JconnecT is currently targeting two groups for the Sunday morning program to begin in Sept, 2010, starting with a kick-off Shabbaton in Memphis. Group 1: Grades 6-7. Group 2: Grades 8-10.

We need funding to get this off the ground and are seeking Federation as well as private donations. To contribute click here or on the "Donate" button on the right.

More Info on Extended Program Coming Soon

The Open House in New Orleans was another success, with several families expressing real interest in participating. Perhaps most exciting is that there seems to be growing interest in our extended program which would provide more intensive learning opportunities for students during the week, beyond the 2 Sunday morning sessions, which each student would do at a time of day that worked with his or her unique schedule.

Details on the number of classes that will be offered in this program, the content and format, as well as the pricing structure will be posted shortly.
