Fox Valley Jewish Neighbors to offer education program

Children in the Tri-Cities area will soon have a new opportunity for Jewish education. Fox Valley Jewish Neighbors, an unaffiliated Jewish community center located at 121 S. Third St. in Geneva, is developing a new education program for children in third grade and up, to begin in the fall.

This new religious school program welcomes children - from Jewish and from interfaith families - who have been attending religious school, as well as children who have had little or no formal religious education. This will be a broad-based program inclusive of all branches of Judaism. Bar and bat mitzvah preparation will also be available.

Adults interested in teaching positions, including college students, educators and especially those with children who will be in the program, are encouraged to request information about paid teaching positions in this school. For details, call (630) 232-8032 or (630) 584-3491.

It is a Jewish community group composed of Jewish individuals and interfaith families living in central Kane County and nearby towns. The goal of this group is to develop a cohesive Jewish community in the Fox Valley area for religious, charitable and educational purposes. Visit fvjn.org for information and upcoming events. Five percent of proceeds from all FVJN events is donated to local charities.
