The Coleman and Lilian Levene Talmud Torah is one of
the largest provincial Chedarim in the country The Cheder is an integral and essential part of
the community providing Jewish education up to Bar/Bat Mitzvah age, including
Bar Mitzvah lessons. Attendance is free to children of synagogue members. Regular
highlights of the Cheder year are the Annual Prize-Giving (guests of honour have
included Mrs. Elaine Sacks, Lady Jacobovits, and Clive Lawton), the
Demonstration Seder, the Chanukah Service, Succoth, Lunch in the Shul Succah and
the Annual Fancy Dress Purim Party.
Teaching
techniques in the Cheder are continually being modernised. New apparatus
including the audio-visual and computer equipment are available so that the Cheder may compete for the
children's attention and interest with the type of
education now received in secular schools under the guidance of Mr Wilkinson,
our head teacher.
