Better Together

Jewish Living Experiences for Families with K-1 Children

Better Together is an investment by Beth Shalom in families having joyful, meaningful Jewish Living Experiences at one of the most critical moments in raising children. Better Together is open to any Beth Shalom member family with at least one child in Kindergarten or First Grade.

As a Better Together Family, you are invited to:

Seven specially designed experiences with similar age families that are interactive, meaning-making and creative to help Jewish living come alive for each family. Clergy will be directly involved with each program.
Be part of a robust cohort of similar age families that can grow together, build lasting relationships, and root your children’s Jewish identity in positivity.
Build family relationships with the Beth Shalom Clergy.

Every Better Together Family who participates in at least four Better Together Experiences will receive a $400 scholarship per K-1 student to either The Polsky School or HBHA.

For The Polsky School, this brings our $580 tuition down to $180 for the entire year.

You may be asking…

A large class, great programs for the entire family, and a credit to cover most of tuition? Amazing! How do I enroll?

It’s simple. Just complete the online enrollment form here, note that you are participating in Better Together where indicated, and the credit will be applied.

We are Beth Shalom members with a child in kindergarten or first grade, and our student attends HBHA—how do we participate?

Please email the Polsky Religious School (prs@bethshalomkc.org), and we will make sure that you receive all the information about upcoming Better Together programs, as well as the same $400 credit toward your student’s HBHA education from Beth Shalom.

Future Better Together Programs include:

Mezuzot Making at the Ceramic Café (February)
Mishloach Manot/Purim Basket Factory (March)
Morning at the Mitzvah Garden (April)
End-of-Year BBQ (May)

Better Together Families will also receive special invitations to Gesher Family programs such as a family tailgate at Kauffman Stadium before a spring Royals game.
