We strive to create an experience where students feel connected to their peers, teachers, clergy, and synagogue community. Our Religious School is committed to providing a safe, warm, and fun learning environment for children ages 3-18.
Students who participate in our program will:
Love being Jewish and find meaning in Jewish learning and ritual.
See the synagogue as a place where they can learn about Judaism and explore their ever-developing questions about God, Torah, Israel, Jewish tradition, and its relevance to our lives today.
Create connections and relationships with other students and families to build a vibrant community with whom to celebrate Shabbat, Jewish holidays, and life cycle events together.
Embrace a sense of obligation to make the world a better place by learning about Jewish values in the classroom and living those values in our community.
Develop a love for the Hebrew language by learning the foundational skills and vocabulary to confidently engage in American Jewish life and learning.
Express a connection with Am Yisrael (the People of Israel), Eretz Yisrael (the land of Israel), and Medinat Yisrael (the State of Israel) historically and in modern times.
We openly welcome interfaith families who are raising their children as Jews and offer support to all parents as we work together in the endeavor of Jewish Education.
Our Religious School delivers high-quality core curriculum including the following:
