THE DOWNTOWN HEBREW SCHOOL COMMUNITY!
Tamid welcomes students from all backgrounds to learn how to be caring, honest, and positive young people in the world today. We instill a love, knowledge, and respect for Judaism in a fun learning environment designed for downtown kids. We pick up kids after school from PS 234, 276 and Spruce St. and offer classes for children K-12. Call or email our Director, Christina Broussard, at (646)360-0689 or cbroussard@tamidnyc.org, or visit tamidnyc.org for more information. We look forward to meeting you and your family, and this New Year, may we all be sealed in the Book of Life. Happy School Year! Sponsored.
