N'vonim
N'vonim is a class for students with day school or high level Hebrew experience
(5th – 7th graders), that need to fulfill the requirements of Sinai Temple's bar/bat mitzvah policy. Students must test into the class. (This course is required for students that leave Sinai Akiba Academy and still wish to have their bar/bat mitzvah at Sinai Temple.) If students do not test into the N'vonim class, according to the requirement they will
attend Religious School (Wednesdays and Sundays).
