How it works:
Each year, parents take on one role, that may be in leadership, music, teaching cultural classes, leading field trips, leading services (if you're comfortable with that), doing administrative stuff, whatever it takes to make our community work. We feel that the co-operative aspect of our community brings us closer. We occassionally have pot-luck dinners, celebrate Bar and Bat Mitzvahs together, and also do two community weekend retreats a year.
Most Sundays we gather at 9 am for a quick nosh. Children go off to their first class (culture or Hebrew) while the adults who are not teaching meet for discussion. We come back at about 10:30 for an half hour of singing together with our children. The children then go to second class (Hebrew or culture) while the adults mingle.
