HaMercaz (The Center)

Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays

HaMercaz, the special services program of The Temple B’nai Abraham Religious School, is a warm, nurturing Jewish learning environment dedicated to children with learning and physical differences in grades  K-6, with consideration given  to the Bar and Bat Mitzvah process. Each child is encouraged to maximize his or her learning potential and is instilled with a lifelong love of Judaism. The children learn about Jewish  holidays, Israel, and the Hebrew language in a fun and creative atmosphere. Some children benefit from  a self-contained classroom, while  others are partially or completely mainstreamed with support. Their needs are varied, but we are committed to engage every child and help them to live a meaningful Jewish  life. Programming specifically designed  to benefit your child will be developed with your participation and using your child’s IEP to facilitate and build  on successful secular experiences. Flexibility is built into the program  to allow for changing  needs and abilities. Our professionals carefully and lovingly work with each child to his or her ability. If you feel your child might benefit from  special services, please do not hesitate to contact the  Director, Melissa Weiner at 973-994-3950 or mweiner@tbanj.org.
