The Children's Jewish Education Group

Who we are Founded in 1961, The Children's Jewish Education Group (CJEG) is a cooperative school developed and run by parents. We specialize in families who are looking for an alternative to Temple-Based Hebrew School. CJEG has a wide range of members, most of which are families who live throughout Westchester and southern Connecticut. The school provides a way for children to connect with their Jewish heritage, and to explore the basic tenets, values, culture and traditions of the Jewish faith. A Cooperative School With a Professional Staff From Kindergarten through seventh grade, CJEG provides our students with a foundation to experience the joy, pride and appreciation of being Jewish. A wealth of Jewish traditions, history, music, art and holiday celebrations are shared by classmates as they discover the richness and uniqueness of our heritage. Our paid staff includes an educational director, administrator and seven teachers. Each class has a former student who works as a paid teacher's aide For More Information About our School Or to arrange a visit, please contact our Vice President, Membership Director: Randi Sperber CJEG News and Bulletins: Regular Class  - April 7, 2013 April 12, 2013 - (Friday, 8pm) Madison Handbags Party to support CJEG Regular Class  - April 14, 2013 Spring Art Fundraiser during class Regular Class  - April 21, 2013 A Taste of CJEG Open house for potential new families Spread the word to anyone you feel may be interested!  More information on flyer below April 27, 2013 - (Saturday, 6pm) Poker Night Fundraiser Dobbs Ferry Firehouse Regular Class  - April 28, 2013* 9:45am - Last Parent Meeting of the Year Moving -Up/Graduation - May 5, 2013 At Hawthorne Cedar Knolls   Taste of CJEG Flyer Class Schedule Students attend class Sunday mornings from September through May, on the campus of SUNY Purchase.
