• Hebrew or Religious School for Kids. Want to teach, help, or send your kids? There are now four Jewish Afternoon Schools operating in SLC/Park City --the community-wide Utah School of Jewish Studies (a parent-run co-op program emphasizing exciting learning and teaching, in-depth study of Jewish texts, Hebrew language using modern language teaching methods, and synagogue skills taught by "learning by doing") and synagogue-affiliated programs at Kol Ami, Bais Menachem, and Temple Har Shalom / Park City Jewish Center. We can help you find the one that is right for you and your kids. Or check our local job listings. (For kids internet stuff, try the "fun stuff" links from the Utah School of Jewish Studies site. For parents, try JewishCulture.com- Multimedia Parenting, a webzine).
