I remember reading somewhere about some shuls that are calling their father/son learning program by a different name to be more inclusive of boys without fathers. I can't remember what term was used instead, but I like the idea and want to bring it up in our shul.

Is it embarrassing for the boys if we change the name? Meaning, they know it was changed because of them?

A radical thought: Boys can learn with their mothers as well! If it encourages women to get up to speed on what their sons are learning, so much the better.
I like the name dor l'dor.

It's open to mothers too. It's marketed as adults and children learning together.

In our yishuv it's called Limud Horim Ve-yeladim.
The school runs a similar once a month program and it's called V'shinantam.

I know a school that used to have a "Mothers and Daughters Dinner" that is now called "Shalsheles." It could be that the few girls did feel weird that it was because of them, but future years probably thanked them.

My shul has a father/child learning program that's on Shabbos afternoon on long shabbasim and on motzai Shabbos on short shabbasim. There was a vote held amongst the women whether we'd like to have a mother/child learning program and the overwhelming consensus was no because we deal with homework all week long and that is quite enough.

That's exactly why I love the program. All week homework is a chore. This is learning lishma. It brings the joy back to it, instead of being a time to nag.

I live in Baltmore. Th vaad harabanim of Baltimore recently announced a name change - it is now called Kol hane'arim. Meaning 'all the boys' not 'voice of hte boys' = Kol with a caf, not a kuf.
the reason given ws so that boys without fathers to learn with dont feel left out.

Our shul calls it "Parent/Child Learning" but encourages anyone who wants to come to learn with anyone who wants to learn.

In my community (Chicago) it is not run by the shul but it is a division of Pirchei programming for boys. Its housed at different shuls in the community. My husband said he saw older boys learning with chavrusas instead of a parent or other adult.
I think its a really nice way for my husband and son to spend a hour together during the week. I am happy for them to go and dont feel insulted that I am not included.
One local shul has a mother daughter learning program on Sunday mornings and I think its really nice. I would love to see more shuls do that but I only have boys so its not so relevant for me these days.

Rabbi Bender wrote an op-ed about this in Mishpacha.
if one kid from a non-traditional family is hurt even once by the term "Avos U'Banim" the whole endeavour is not worth it.
Calling it "V'shinantam" or "MiDor L'Dor" or "Shalsheles" doesn't make that kid who shows up with his uncle, his big brother, the nice guy on his block who takes an interest in him, or his tutor - feel different.
It's just basic sensitivity, and as "Rachmanim B'nei Rachmanim" I think it behooves us to have that sensitivity.
As usual, Rabbi Bender is 100% correct.
