Primary School
Do you want to empower your children to learn, connect and engage at an early age? Enrol your children in the BJE Jewish Journey today!
The BJE Jewish Learning journey in primary school provides a foundational knowledge of Jewish traditions, festivals, lifecycle and history and commences with SRE (Special Religious Education) or ‘Scripture’ as it’s commonly called.
The BJE Jewish Social Journey in the primary school enables your children to connect with Jewish friendship networks and peers in their local area and where possible in other parts of NSW.
BJE’s Natif Program is ‘an alternate to’ or ‘in addition to’ a traditional shul-based Bar or Bat Mitzvah. Students will embark on a rite of passage journey, based on Jewish values of Tikkun Olam, kindness and integrity.

Shabbat shalom
One of the many highlights of the Year 10 Nesiah Israel Program, was the opportunity for those participants, who had not had their Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, to do so in Israel.
Thanks to the support of Y2i, Allan and Sharon Vidor and Masai Yehudi, there were 14 young people, who together with the whole Nesiah group of friends, madrichim, staff and even family members, celebrated their “coming of age” Jewish Journey on the Tayelet overlooking the old city of Jerusalem.
Each Bar/Bat Mitzvah participant received a personalised siddur, tefillin for the boys and shabbat candlesticks for the girls.
BJE is currently offering a Natif Program in Sydney. Natif is a BJE Jewish Journey Coming-of-Age Program, that is ‘an alternate to’ or ‘in addition to’ traditional shul-based Bat or Bar Mitzvah. For more info: bje.org.au/natif
