The Sylvan Adams YM-YWHA is thrilled to announce the re-launch of Ivri Anochi, an immersive Jewish journey tailored specifically for children in Grades 1 to 6 who do not attend Jewish day school. This unique program, set to run on Wednesdays from September 11, 2024, to June 11, 2025, offers an unparalleled opportunity for young Jewish children to deepen their connection to their heritage in a dynamic and engaging environment. EMSB students are welcome to register.
Ivri Anochi is designed as an interactive and experiential journey, providing participants with the tools to foster a deep sense of Jewish identity. Click here for more information.
Children will:
• Nurture a connection to the Montreal Jewish community and Israel: strengthening their ties to their heritage and building a sense of belonging.
• Deepen understanding of Jewish values, tradition, and culture: through hands-on, engaging activities that make learning fun.
• Develop basic comfort with the Hebrew language: gaining foundational language skills in a supportive setting.
• Form lasting friendships with other Jewish children: creating bonds that can last a lifetime.
Program Highlights
• Students are divided into two age groups. While one group engages in hands-on Jewish expe-riences, the other enjoys our gorgeous pool. The groups then switch, ensuring everyone partic-ipates in both activities.
• By 5:30 PM, when parents arrive for pick-up, all participants will have engaged in fun Jewish activities, exercised, played with Jewish friends, and bonded with awesome role models.
Why Choose Ivri Anochi?
• Complimentary monitored transportation: provided from certain schools depending on need.
• Flexible enrollment options: Ivri Anochi runs for 30 weeks during the school year. Families can receive a 10% discount by registering for the full year upfront or opt to enroll in each 10-week block separately.
Our program animators, who are carefully selected young adults, serve as inspiring Jewish role mod-els, bringing immense value to the experience. Their passion and dedication ensure that each child feels supported and encouraged on their Jewish journey.
