MAKOMnj’s Learning Program
It’s where learning comes alive.
The MAKOMnj LEARNING PROGRAM is based on a culture of kindness where each student and each family feels valued. We affirm the choices families make Jewishly and help students and families to apply Jewish values to their lives with ease.
We offer two types of experiences.
Our in-person experience is on Sunday mornings from 10:00 am to 11:00 am.
On Sunday mornings students learn about Jewish values and Jewish history. Hebrew is taught separately during the week. Each child gets private lessons with a teacher via zoom. Students sign up for 20 minute time slots according to their schedule.
Our 100% Virtual online program is Wednesdays from 4:00 pm to 4:30 pm on zoom.

What does our in-person Sunday morning of learning look like?
When it is safe to be inside, the students come in to our Morristown “Homebase” location at 10am, kick off their shoes and take a seat at the table. We chat about the week that has passed while we wait for everyone to arrive. Next, we move to the family room since we often start with a video to introduce the main topic of the day. We return to the table and dive deeper into the topic with discussions and projects. Since our learning is hands on, we often go into the kitchen to cook, go outside to play games, or do a scavenger hunt around the house. We end the day reviewing what we have learned and jotting a few notes in our thought journals.
This class will meet on Sunday mornings from 10:00am-11:00am
