Hebrew Academy Offers Home Start Program
By Arny Pickholtz
Beginning this fall, the
Hebrew Academy will be offer
ing a unique educational
enrichment program geared to
all pre-school age child»-en in
the Piedmont. The Home
Start program was conceived
by Rabbi Hyman Chanover
and consists of easy to read,
beautifully illustrated, full col
or booklets created for each of
the major Jewish holidays and
the Sabbath. Included in the
kits are corresponding play
and leam magazines, parent
handbook and cassette of
Jewish songs and stories.
The program is being in
troduced to the Charlotte com
munity by Roz Segal, vice
president of education at the
Hebrew Academy. She says,
“This is the best Jewish pro
gram of its kind in the coun
try. I believe that every
Jewish parent should take the
opportunity to look at this uni
que educational tool. A parent
and pre-school child can,
together, discover the beauty
of Jewish ritual and prayers.”
The total cost of the Home
Start program is $12.95 and
includes participation in
special Hebrew Academy
Holiday Centers, set up when
the holiday packets are picked
up. Roz also says, “The Holi
day Centers will provide an op
portunity for the children to
participate in arts and crafts,
cooking and stories which are
related to these materials.
They will be available on
specific afternoons in
September, November,
January, February, March
and May.”
The idea of bringing the
Home Start program to
Charlotte was born when
board members began looking
for ways to develop an educa
tion program which could be
offered to the community at
large. Eleanor Weinglass,
Director of the Hebrew
Academy says, “We weuit to
involve all young childen in
the excitement and celebration
of our Jewish holidays.”

r'C'
Home Start program, call the Academy, 366-6390 or Roslyn
