Students at Kehilat HaNahar, The Little Shul by the River, in New Hope, are now learning side-by-side with students from Congregation Kol Ami in Elmira, N.Y., due to the closure of Kol Ami’s religious school during this academic year in the midst of COVID-19.
Now that the KHN Shul School is operating virtually, it is open to learners from across the U.S.
“We chose KHN among several other religious schools we were looking at because we were impressed by the quality of the teaching and with the curriculum and its emphasis on social justice. We also knew our students wouldn’t get lost as they might in a larger congregation,” said Rabbi Oren Steinitz of Congregation Kol Ami.
“So far, the feedback from our parents and students has been overwhelmingly positive,” continued Rabbi Steinitz. “I have a first and fifth grader in KHN Shul School, and they both love their teachers, look forward to the arts projects, and are making great progress. It’s a great fit!”
