Religious School Programs

Pre-B’nei Mitzvah

Our pre-b’nei mitzvah program strives for a balance between learning for the here and now, and the acquisition of synagogue skills for b’nei mitzvah and adulthood. Our faculty aspires to install a love of Jewish heritage and tradition.

Post-B’nei Mitzvah

Our post-b’nei mitzvah program builds upon the foundation of the religious school curriculum. Classes range from the traditional to modern topics that allow for a variety of perspectives and interest. The wide spectrum of involvement allows for a richer understanding of our traditions, and prepares our teens to be next generation of Jewish leaders.
