We are deeply committed to our vision of a Religious School - a vision which can only become real with the active participation of parents. Parents are required to attend Shabbat programs (Rabbi's Study Session, Services, Torah Discussion, Community Lunch) as much as the children. We ask one simple thing: what you want for your children, get for yourself. That's why we have our Religious School on Shabbat, so that we are not a drop-off school. While the children are learning, observing & celebrating Judaism, so are their parents. Thus, all religious education is family education.
Our Vision
In our Religious School, we teach our children to be religious, in the best sense of the term.
A religion is made up of a community. We teach our students the principles and skills of responsible behavior in all their communities: family, friends, school and the synagogue.
A religion is rooted in a tradition, the rituals that shape the way they see the world. We teach our children not only the observance of our religion, but why we do what we do, what the meanings are, and the spectrum of ways that modern Jews observe.
A religion is rooted in a teaching. We teach our children to love Torah, in all of its complexity, beauty and inexhaustible mystery. They learn to revere the wisdom in our heritage and to let it shape their minds and morals, and to add constantly their questions, their insights, their spirit. Torah is not just a set of texts, it is an on going project. We teach them to be part of that project, and to love doing it.
A religion celebrates our deepest beliefs and experiences. We teach our children the deeper joy that is present in a spiritual discipline, and the happiness we can create in observance of Shabbat and Holidays.
