Libeynu will be led by Hebrew College rabbinical student Aviva Herr-Welber, who will be Reyim's rabbinic intern, together with Rabbi Berman. The program starts Tuesday September 9, 2025 and will meet each Tuesday afternoon through the school year, synched with the Jewish and the Newton public school calendars. The cost for the Tuesday afternoon program is $800 per student for Reyim members, with a 10% sibling discount. There is also a $50 discount per student for families who register before May 31.
