Religious School

"You must teach them diligently to your children."

These words from our Torah are fundamental to our philosophy. Judaism and education are inseparable. We are obligated to pass our teachings on from generation to generation in an exciting, meaningful way. We strive to create an environment in which students can share questions, opinions and ideas, where they can explore themselves, their values, their relationships, and therefore their place in their family, community, and finally, in their world.

Through this exploration we hope that our children will find a solid foundation to base their beliefs upon, while acquiring a richer purpose to their lives.

Our current K through 7th grade program serves approximately 80 children.
