Announcing the 2013 Epstein Communicate Award Recipients!
Communicate is the online resource bank of over 2,600 programs and ideas that has been created exclusively for URJ congregations and their members. Every two years, summaries in several categories are selected to receive an Epstein Award recognizing those congregations’ outstanding programming. Award recipients receive a $1,000 programming grant, presented at the URJ North American Biennial Convention, taking place this year in San Diego, December 11-15. Temple B’nai Torah won the Epstein Award at the URJ Biennial for its Madrichim Program.
Temple B’nai Torah, Wantagh, NY (Teen Engagement Program; mid-size congregation)
To inspire post-b’nei mitzvah students to remain engaged in congregational life and school, Temple B’nai Torah developed Madrichim Program. At the end of sixth grade, students are asked if they’d like to join the program, in which they’ll have the opportunity to serve as role models for younger children. Madrichim mature, gain confidence and take ownership of the program’s success and remain engaged in life at Temple B’nai Torah.

OUR MISSION
Temple B’nai Torah Nursery School offers young children an excellent pre-school experience. We provide a wide variety of activities in reading, science and math. Art activities, music and creative movement are an integral part of our program as are the celebrations of Shabbat and Jewish holidays. Find the best in early childhood education at Temple B’nai Torah Nursery School. Our caring and experienced staff instills a sense of pride in our Jewish heritage by stimulating each child’s interest in learning without applying academic pressure and by encouraging good social, emotional, intellectual and physical growth.
NURSERY & PRE-K
Three and four year old children are provided with a variety of age appropriate experiences. Using a Whole Language approach, they are introduced to readiness activities in reading, science and math. The children also enjoy cooking, baking, computer time and trips to local places of interest. Shabbat and Jewish holiday celebrations are a joyous part of each child’s pre-school experience. The children in the Pre-K are well prepared for the Kindergarten year.
MINI DAY & EXTENDED DAY
The Mini Day program is a four hour class for three-year olds. For our four-year olds, the Extended Day is five and a half hours. The longer hours allow the children to explore and expand upon different topics of interest. Under the teacher’s guidance, they have discussions, do science experiments, have creative music sessions, listen to and write stories and books. They still have time to pretend, build with blocks, paint at the easel, work at the computer, go to the playground and have lunch. The extended hours provide time for a wonderful hands-on program where children make some eye-opening discoveries in science, math, reading, and language that will become the foundation for their future education.
SUMMER FUN
The Summer Program at Temple B’nai Torah offers children an atmosphere of warmth and delight. The youngsters are actively involved in creative crafts, music, and story time, special theme days as well as indoor and outdoor playground activities. The air conditioned building and sprinklers keep them cool and comfortable in warm weather. This program is ideal for the young child who enjoys the companionship of other children. It is held in an atmosphere that is creative, relaxed and well supervised by experienced teachers and counselors.
EARLY MORNING DROP-OFF AND AFTER CARE IS AVAILABLE FOR ALL FALL PROGRAMS.
COME JOIN US. HAVE FUN. LEARN AND GROW.

Meredith Lubin is thrilled to be joining the Temple B’nai Torah family this year! Before coming to TBT, she served as the Assistant Principal at Temple Shaaray Tefila in Manhattan, and as the Education Coordinator at Anshe Emeth Memorial Temple in New Brunswick, NJ.
Growing up, Meredith always knew she wanted to be a teacher, and indeed, she has degrees in Social Studies and Education from East Stroudsburg University. Shortly after finishing school, she unexpectedly took over for a 5th Grade Religious School teacher and quickly decided to switch gears from Social Studies to Jewish Education. She has not looked back since – she loves the unique relationships and educational opportunities that come with the synagogue school environment. She is so looking forward to all of the amazing things on the horizon for the TBT community and is excited to help make the youth (both in the Religious School and BNTY) a great and active part of it all!
Outside of school, Meredith is always listening to music and is an avid reader – she will happily chat your ear off about either subject for as long as you let her! She also loves movies, live theatre, and spending time with her friends and family.
