description: This free email list of parents who live, work, or play on the East Side is a great place to ask advice, get and give referrals, get rid of the stuff you don’t need anymore, acquire the items you need now that the kids have grown a bit more, commiserate, and meet your neighbors. Membership must be technically ‘approved’, but the more the merrier! (No mean talk allowed.)

The Friday School is an evolving, cooperatively-run Jewish school providing children grades pre-K through 7 with a basis for lifelong Jewish learning since 1974.
The school provides classes in Hebrew, Jewish history, culture and ethics as a resource for families looking for an independent alternative to traditional Jewish education. Families from all backgrounds and beliefs are welcome.
On Friday afternoons, the school offers a class in Hebrew, followed by a class in Jewish history, culture and ethics for each age group. Children may take one or both classes, and everyone joins in for the Shabbat blessings, singing, and other activities.
