Religious School Curriculum

We look forward to embarking on this life-long Jewish journey with your children. Congregation Beth Israel-Judea’s Religious School introduces children and their families to our rich culture; Jewish history, holidays and symbols,; prayer; Torah; and the values of our Jewish people. 

It is our hope that students will gain the tools necessary to enable them to continue to study, grow, question and participate actively in Jewish life in the coming years. 

Each class focuses on the Jewish values of Torah, avodah (work) and g’milut chasadim (acts of kindness) according to their level of learning. Teachers will also bring Israel, holidays and their passion to make exciting classes. Each year, students will build on their previous knowledge, which will establish the foundation of a lifetime of Jewish learning.
