Project Echad
The Temple Beth Sholom community is embarking on a journey of oneness to create a seamless Reform Jewish community. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia community in Italy, which serves as the foundation of our Innovative School, TBS aims to fully integrate the school and temple families into one thriving community.
During the initial phase, a select team of lay leaders, professionals, clergy, and community members will explore possibilities and potential next steps towards growing our organic community. While the Innovative School’s educational practices have been inspired by renowned schools in Reggio Emilia, our current project focuses on the community partnership and relationship between the Reggio Emilia schools and municipality. Dr. Naama Zoran, our esteemed Israel/Reggio consultant, is crucial to our internal dialogue and collaboration with our Reggio Children colleagues.
As we embark on this journey of learning and growth, we are excited to chart a new path of connection in our Temple Beth Sholom community.
