Mayim Tamid
Mayim Tamid ("Mayim Always") is a multi-day program for children in grades 1-3, which combines the after school care found in many extended day programs with the rich Jewish learning and community building found in our Mayim program. Each day, children enjoy playground time, homework time, healthy snack, Hebrew and Jewish learning, prayer and song, and free play. Since it includes an active Jewish learning component, it "counts" as "Hebrew school."
​
In Mayim Tamid, children experience Jewish life and cycles in real time, learning, celebrating and playing together in an environment that nurtures each child on their individual path. Children build deep relationships with their faculty, TBS rabbis and professional staff, and each other in a setting that helps children feel like the temple is their second home. Hebrew language learning is an integral part of the Mayim Tamid experience, as children build familiarity with Hebrew letters, vowels, words, and simple conversations.
Registration for Mayim Tamid is Open for 2018-2019!
