Registration for 2023-2024 will open on August 1st.

Beit Sefer Phyllis Mintzer will be in-person only this year.  We will continue to follow COVID safety precautions according to SF Dept of Public Health recommendations.

We meet on Saturday mornings from 9am until Noon. Our schedule is as follows:

Beit Sefer begins on Saturday, October 14, 2023.  We will hold classes parallel to students’ b’mitzvah celebrations; our 6/7 grade class will attend services with their classmates on those dates.

Small Group Hebrew classes are for  students in grades 5-7. Class Alef meets on site, directly after Beit Sefer Closing Circle. Class Bet meets on Zoom on a designated weekday afternoon/evening. Hebrew Class Bet begins the week of October 9th.

Please register by Friday, September 1

Please complete the registration form for your children and the student intake form for each child.

On-time registration supports a smooth start to the year for individuals and the community.  And new students are welcome anytime throughout the school year.

Questions or ideas?

If you have questions about the content or format of the program, want to meet about your child, or would love to “test drive” Beit Sefer in the fall before committing, please be in contact with Director of Education Liz Jaroslow today.
