Congratulations BJEP Theatre Club on a great production of Prince of Egypt!
BJEP (Boston-area Jewish Education Program) is not your traditional Hebrew school.
We’re an independent, unaffiliated Sunday school on the Brandeis campus in Waltham, MA, taught by passionate and knowledgeable university undergraduates actively participating in Jewish life.
We’re a welcoming community, embracing Greater Boston families from all backgrounds interested in learning Hebrew and exploring Jewish traditions, values and culture.
Experiential learning and Jewish arts and culture are central to the program. We offer extended day options so students can learn Modern Hebrew, Jewish dance and Jewish theater.
While our programs are for kids from kindergarten through grade seven, we also offer adult learning and family education.
We run High Holiday services and provide Bar and Bat Mitzvah support.
Headed by an education director, BJEP is organized and funded by the parents of students enrolled in the school and is governed by a volunteer parent board of directors. As a coop, parents commit to taking a job to keep tuition lower at a significant cost savings to our community.
We hope you’ll join us on your Jewish journey.
