The goal of FSE is to enhance LBT families' engagement in the Jewish values of learning, community and involvement in Jewish life. FSE is for families with students in grades K-6. Participation in FSE is a year-long commitment to an exciting new way of learning for families on Saturday afternoons, once a month. Though there is a classroom component, the learning extends far beyond into living Torah and Jewish life. Importantly, FSE is a community experience; each family's input and participation is critical not only to the success of each session but because it ultimately determines the shape of the program.
