Goals of Organizing Genesis
Bereishit strives to build and strengthen the Israeli-Jewish-American community through various programs and activities. The organization operates on the basis of an educational infrastructure that enables the connection of the next generation to the State of Israel and the Jewish world. A Genesis organization is created from the community for the community, where the value of volunteering and giving is the executive fuel that sustains the organization.
Genesis is a non-profit organization in status (501c3).
Community events
As part of the Genesis Holidays program, students are taught and celebrated in a class setting.
There are a number of holidays for which Genesis produces multi-participant community events.
The purpose of the events is to mark the holidays in a community setting also for families who do not participate in the program.
Genesis Plan
program Modern enrichment for Israeli-American children living in northern New Jersey. The plan Offers a comprehensive learning experience that combines many and varied activities of sensory stimulation such as: music, art, movement, cooking and more. The scope of the program is weekly meetings for about two hours throughout the school year.
The program emphasizes spoken language, writing and reading during an Israeli experience, in order to create a young and relevant community from which dynamism and culture for the new generation will grow. The instruction is done In Hebrew only By professionally qualified and experienced Israeli teachers.
Deuteronomy
Lectures for adults only on various topics. Whether it's a politician, a journalist, a scientist or a holistic therapist in a new way - anyone with an interesting story on an interesting topic is welcome to lecture to members of the community and give adults the opportunity to meet and talk without being preoccupied with children. The lectures take place In Hebrew only In the homes of community members who donate their home for the event. The goal is to institutionalize adult meetings to build and re-establish social bonds.
Genesis summer camp
Bereishit runs an Israeli summer camp in Hebrew, in order to preserve the children's connection and strengthen their Israeli identity even during the summer months in an environment where activities related to Israel are intertwined with an experiential and fun agenda.
Children from the ages of 5 to 11 from all over northern New Jersey come to the camp during the summer months.
