**Torah Reader's Club** In 5th grade, students begin studying Trope (a system of symbols and associated melodies by which the Torah is chanted). The trope class meets Sundays (see calendar for specific dates) from 9-9:30, and is taught by Barbara Biran. The weekly homework assignments (which are essential for success) are posted on this page. Upon completion of the class, students are inducted into the Torah Reader's Club at a ceremony during our Hagigat Noar serivce (usually the first Friday of February). At that time they also receive their very own lovely Tikkun and their first Youth Congregation torah reading ( YOUTH SERVICES!! ). After 3 readings in Youth Congregation, they receive a beautiful pin, and are considered official Torah Readers. (A similar program is done in the main service with all adults ages 13 and up).
