Page 3-THE NEWS September, 1985 Temples Beth El, Beth Shalom Form Joint Religious School Thoughts From Adrienne Temples Beth El and Beth Shalom recently issued the following statement: “It is with great pride that we an nounce the formation of a com munity Reform Jewish Religious School, sponsored by both Temple Beth El and Temple Beth Shalom.” During the past two months, representatives of the two reform congregations have met periodically to discuss issues of mutual interest. The formation of the joint religious school for the 1985-86 school year is the first concrete result of these ongoing talks. On July 1 the Board of Beth Shalom approved the motion that Beth Shalom meet with Beth El to discuss possible joint ventures and long-range plans, with the intention that these talks should serve to benefit all of Reform Judaism in Charlotte. A subsequent meeting, including represen tatives from both temples, was held on July 25. Informa tion was exchanged concern ing dues structure, religious education and Beth El’s long- range building plans. A specific motion to form a joint religious school was proposed, endorsed and recommended to the two temple boards for discussion and possible ratification. On August 5 both Temple boards overwhelmingly voted their approval for the joint ef fort. A new religious school board, with separate budget and accounting, has been formed. This boeird includes members and rabbis from both temples. Lisa Vernon, Direc tor of Education at Temple Beth El, serves as director of the joint school. The new UAHC curriculum, which has been termed “the state-of-the- art curriculum for Jewish education”, is being introduc ed by the new school in grades K-3. A new PTA is being form ed to aid and help support the activities of the joint school. Opening day for the joint religious school was set for September 8. Grades K-6 are to meet at Beth El and grades 7-10 at Beth Shalom, in one session, with opening and clos ing hours staggered slightly to facilitate carpooling. The joint school board held its initial meeting on August 28. It is the hope of both temples that this new joint venture will promote better education, allow more involve ment and interaction, eliminate duplication, expand facilities and classroom time, and generally strengthen the quality of Jewish education in Charlotte.
