I HAVE A DREAM PROGRAM
Am Shalom Congregation in Barrie, Ontario, is thrilled to announce that they will be offering no-fee Jewish Heritage education classes commencing in September 2022 for children aged 4-13. This initiative is a first ever for the region and will be offered to all Jewish children in the Barrie, Innisfil and Simcoe community for members of the Synagogue.
Rabbi Audrey Kaufman, spiritual Leader of the congregation explained, “Last fall, I suddenly woke in the middle of the night with a dream – actually an epiphany – that our beloved Am Shalom Congregation was offering free Jewish education…the days of charging fees for our students had come to an end! When I awoke in the morning and recalled my dream, I thought….why not? We can make it happen!”
