Interactive. Fun. Engaging. Progressive.
According to Rabbi Margaret Frisch-Klein, "We strive to make learning about Judaism and its traditions, history, and observances as fun and meaningful as possible at every grade level.” Congregation Kneseth Israel offers Jewish learning from preschool through high school in a coordinated, integrated curriculum including topics such as holidays, Torah stories, Jewish values, ancient and modern Jewish history, life cycle events, the Holocaust, Israel, and more. We aim to keep our kids engaged in fun, interactive learning that keeps them connected to their heritage, history, and religion among a fantastic and involved local community of Jewish children and families. At CKI Torah School you will find:
Torah School-Preschool Enjoy Jewish community through playtime for kids ages 3 through 5, two Sundays a month. Become part of the CKI family while your child participates in music, crafts, and play time with a Jewish learning theme. Family Education CKI runs a school-wide family programs that incorporates music, art, food, tzedakah, and fun for everyone during the a year. These are interactive events which incorporate music, art, food, and community service provide opportunities for parents to participate with their children in a Jewish learning event! Previous Judaism ROCKS! Events saw students creating their own Torah, taking a "trip" to Israel, planting a community garden as part of a “kibbutz”, placing prayers in the “Western Wall”, and creating tiles and mosaics to represent Jerusalem stone. One-On-One Hebrew Coaching CKI began piloting a ground-breaking program that eliminates the typical group-setting/classroom-style of teaching Hebrew for kids preparing for the bat or bar mitzvah. CKI’s program involves understanding the expectations of each family for their child’s bar/bat mitzvah, goal-setting, and developing a custom curriculum of learning for your child. We take this knowledge and pair your child up with a CKI Hebrew Coach that will meet with them one-on-one to teach them what they need to know based upon the individual family plan drawn up between parents, Rabbi Margaret, and our Director of Education, Heather Weiser. This new program allows:
Rabbi Margaret sums up the benefits of this new program up best. “We know that students learn in different ways and at different speeds. Moving to a one-on-one Hebrew coaching model helps us meet every student where they are at, allows us to teach each student in a way that works best for their individual learning style, and helps accommodate busy schedules by having flexible scheduling.” Torah School Hours
