TAMID: THE MOST POSITIVE JEWISH PLACE ON EARTH
Since 2011, Tamid has been creating positive Jewish identity in our students and families. Led by Rabbi Darren Levine, Tamid is now the largest synagogue Hebrew School in Lower Manhattan with programs from K-12. We’ve created our own model for teaching Judaism through engaging music, art, movement, and learning pathways for all types of learners. We prepare children and families of all backgrounds for bar/bat mitzvah and our community welcomes you to join us for classes, shabbat, and holiday gatherings year round. Please contact our Director of Education, Christina Broussard, to schedule a visit and to learn more about Tamid (cbroussard@tamidnyc.org). More at tamidnyc.org. #tamidlovesyou
