Religious School

Educating our children is paramount to building a strong religious community. Depending on the age of students, our religious school is available to pre-schoolers through eighth grade. The curriculum gives students a well-rounded foundation in Jewish holidays, beliefs and values. Many of our students gain additional enrichment by attending NFTY Jewish summer camps and are able to do so with the generous help of Camperships.

Every year Religious school students participate in holiday activities and celebrations such as decorating the Sukkah at Sukkot, the Chanukah Latke party and Purim. There is a special Purim Carnival for the very young (under 6 years old) and the older students serve as madrichim and helpers.
