The fifth grade curriculum covers a wide array of topics and ideas, fitting nicely within the larger framework of the concept of tikkun olam, our partnership with God in repairing the world. The importance of tikkun olam and social justice will be highlighted throughout the year, culminating in the development of a mitzvah project. Fifth graders will have the opportunity to study a diverse selection of Jewish texts, such as the Prophets and Talmud, while exploring several notable eras in Jewish history. Finally, the fifth grade curriculum will help broaden students' understanding of the history and development of modern Judaism, with a keen eye towards the values of Reform Judaism, so as to reinforce a connection to both Central Synagogue community and the Reform Movement as a whole.
