This article was written by Rabbi Aaron Finkelstein (Year ’03-’04) – For the last few years before Covid, part of my role as a school rabbi was offering learning opportunities for parents. I’ve offered classes/shiurim after morning drop off, a club for parents and children to practice putting on Tefillin, and even a scotch and steak night to prepare for the Pesach Seder (that one was especially popular, though maybe not because of the learning). Regardless of the program, there was something wonderful that happened when I would pull parents into the school: they become learners themselves, remembering that their child’s Jewish education is a complement to their own.
