Kesharim

A Jewish Culture Club for Students in Grades 3–8

Build Friendships, Celebrate Jewish Culture, & Have Fun After School!

Kesharim brings Jewish students together to explore their heritage through hands-on activities, creative experiences, and meaningful connections. Each session offers a variety of engaging “chugim” (activity choices), including music, art, cooking, games, and special programs designed to inspire learning and community.

Whether you’re joining for one session or the entire year, there’s always something new to discover!
