Our Religious School serves families with students in Kindergarten through Confirmation. Our synagogue is an engaging, friendly and safe place for our students to celebrate their heritage. We seek to develop positive feelings towards history and to the Land of Israel, to grow spiritually, to build a sense of pride in Judaism, and to be inspired to Tikkun Olam—creating a better world—in partnership with God. We want our young people to feel comfortable in any synagogue, to have the skills and knowledge to perform mitzvot, and to be guided throughout their lives by the values learned from Torah and our evolving tradition.
Each student here will learn through experience. There will be time for music and singing, prayer and text study. There will be opportunities for students to implement their learning and values by engaging in the community, in the garden and by leading us in services. All of the children will be given the time and tools to begin learning Hebrew.
Our older students will continue with the tutoring program and have the opportunity to deepen their Hebrew tefilah and conversation skills. Text study in upper grades will include primary source reading as well as in-depth analysis of each student’s personal connection to the material. Students will be challenged to define their roles in the world as Jews, as Americans and as partners in Tikkun Olam.
