Gan Shalom Returns for 26-27 School Year!

Gan Shalom is an engaging program being offered at WJC once a month on Wednesday afternoons from 3:30-5:00 pm beginning in September 2026. We welcome all WJC children including ECC children enrolled in the 3s and 4s program (member and non-member) and Religious School children in Gan (Kindergarten). We are thrilled to have ECC teachers, Naomi Feuerstein along with Amanda Netti, return this year to our Gan Shalom program.

At each of our monthly sessions, Gan Shalom will focus on creating connections between our ECC and RS communities while learning about Jewish holidays, values, and customs.

Families (fee the same for members and non-members) will be charged $150 per child for all 9 sessions or $25 per child per session when registering before the day of class. Families will be charged $35 per child for each session if they “drop-in” to the class.

Gan Shalom will meet from 3:30- 5:00* pm on the following dates:
September 23
October 21
November 18
December 9
January 20
February 10
March 17

*ECC Children that are at WJC until 2:30 pm and register for Gan Shalom may sign up for adult supervision between 2:30-3:30 pm at no additional cost. Pre-registration is required.
