Informal Programs
Shabbatonim
Students celebrate Shabbat together throughout the year, both in school and during special weekend retreats in camp-like settings. Shabbatonim provide an opportunity for students and faculty to bond together, discuss timely Jewish topics, and experience the beauty of Shabbat in a communal setting.
Holiday Celebrations
At Barrack, it is joyful to be Jewish. From blowing the shofar at Rosh Hashanah to dancing and singing on campus for Sukkot, from dressing in costume at Purim to enjoying a school Passover seder, Barrack students, faculty, families and the community celebrate and observe Jewish holidays together.
TEVA
In 6th grade, Barrack students participate in Teva Shomrei Adamah: Keepers of the Earth, a four day and four night program that includes an intensive environmental education experience alongside peers from other Jewish day schools. Students return to Barrack prepared to spearhead ecologically sound programs that include water preservation, recycling, and the greening of our school. In 7th grade, students participate in Teva Achdoot, Togetherness, a two day and two night camping experience that promotes self-reliance and group cooperation.
"Celebrating Shabbat with my friends at the Middle School Shabbaton was the highlight of the year."
