At the very heart of any congregation is the instruction and inspiration it provides its youth in Judaism and Jewish heritage.
Torah School Preschool for children ages 3 and 4 is a two-year program. It meets on two Sunday mornings each month from 10:00 AM to 11:15 AM.
Torah School for students in kindergarten through 3rd grade meets weekly on Sundays from 10:00 AM to 12:00 Noon.
Torah School for students in 4th through 7th grades meets on Wednesdays from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM and on Sundays from 9:00 AM to 12:00 noon. These students divide class time between Hebrew and Judaic studies.
A Junior Congregation Shabbat morning service is specially geared for all 4th-7th-grade students and occurs once per month during the school year. Students have an opportunity to participate in and lead a Shabbat service of their peers, including a Torah discussion appropriate to their age level.
Our post bar/bat mitzvah class or Confirmation Program is for all 8th through 10th grade students and is a three-year program. This class meets twice per month on Monday evenings from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM. For those wishing to participate, dinner is served at 6:00 PM. You may pay in advance or pay-as-you-go. Pre-paying will give the student two free dinners.
Classes are small and each child is given attention and care. The teaching staff includes members of the congregations, many of whom are experienced, professional educators.
