8th Grade
The 8th grade STEP class will be taught again by Rabbi Levenberg with the theme of Social Justice incorporated into almost every aspect of the curriculum. The class will meet 3 times a month:

1. One session will be on a Wednesday evening at Temple Sinai for a formal class that meets from 7:15-8:30 pm. Through the Social Justice curriculum, students will learn when, how, and why social justice became such an integral part of the Jewish experience.

2. One session will be on a Wednesday evening for our SPARK program which meets at Edenbrook Assistant Care Facility (690 Mt. Vernon Highway, Atlanta, GA 30328) from 7:00-8:15 pm. SPARK is an innovative program of intergenerational service to the elderly. Based on Jewish service-learning, it combines action, Jewish text study and structured reflection.

3. A third session will be on a Sundays and will highlight a different Atlanta-based social justice organization each month. Building off of the Wednesday sessions, the students will be able to integrate the in-class sessions with a variety of hands-on experiences.
