Dear Kol HaLev Community,
The Family Programming and Education Committee is excited to present to you
the revised “unschool” program for children (5 -13 years) now called Beit Lev
(“School of Heart”).
Beit Lev will be offered two Sundays a month at KHL. The program will combine
developmentally-appropriate curriculum, experiential learning, mentoring and
community building. Children will be separated into appropriate age groupings to
learn about the holidays, traditions, Hebrew, and Jewish values, but will come
together as a community for singing and basic prayer rituals. This new program will utilize the resources of a professional Jewish educator (or two depending on the number of children), parents, other members of KHL and Rabbi Geoff.
Beit Lev Schedule 2011-2012 / Classes will meet at KHL on the following Sundays:
September 18, 2011 January 15, 2012
October 2, 2011 February 5, 2012

We ask current KHL families to contribute a modest Family Programming
fee to cover costs of Beit Lev, as well as Friday night Shabbat and other special
services for families. The fees are as follows:
· $125 for 1st child
· $100 for 2nd child
· $75 for 3rd child
We invite families who are not KHL members to participate in Beit Lev as
well as other Family Programming events. The fees are as follows:
· $500 for 1st child
· $250 for each additional child
Fees are payable by check or online at www.kolhalevmd.org (PayPal).
The Family Programming and Education Committee is excited to work
with you and your children this year. Your engagement in this new program is key
to its success; volunteers are absolutely necessary and we would love to hear from
people who are interested in helping make this a vibrant part of the KHL community.
Sincerely,
Liz Baker
KHL Secretary
Chair, Family Programming
& Education Committee
