Religious School
Rabbi Gross, Hilary Kamin, the Program/Education Director, and our
teachers have created an innovative curriculum designed to engage
students in a dynamic, interactive learning experience that includes
Hebrew. Classes are held only on Sunday mornings.
Our programming is project-centered, whereby students rotate through
five-week units on God, life cycles, mitzvot, history, ethics, ritual, and other
aspects of our heritage and
Working closely with the rabbi, Bar and Bat Mitzvah candidates are
encouraged to personalize their ceremonies to create a more meaningful
experience.
The Confirmation program begins in 8th grade. Our students make a
two-year commitment to study with Rabbi Gross to develop a strong sense
of Jewish ethics and become young Jewish leaders in our community.
The success of our programming can be measured by the reactions of our
students and parents who have expressed joy, exhilaration, and
unparalleled commitment. Parents have described the experiences of their
children as "incredibly positive," and are elated to observe children
"bouncing out of religious school, grinning from ear to ear."

| SUMMER CAMP FUN??? If you are considering a Jewish camp experience, please consider Greene Family Camp. Studies have shown that residential camps like Greene are instrumental in the formation of a child's Jewish identity. With a wonderful balance between educating and recreation, the Greene Family Camp is one of our nation's premier Jewish summer camps. Registration is simple. If you will be a new camper, just click here to complete the on-line application. And if you went to camp last summer, all you have to do is log in to your account to re-register. Do not allow tight finances to prevent you from sending your child to camp this summer. Greene Family Camp has financial aid programs available. Interested families may click here go to the "Parents" section of the Greene Family Camp website to look at and download information and applications. In addition, The Jewish Federation of Greater Houston's Bureau of Jewish Education is now accepting applications from families who need assistance to provide their children with a Jewish summer experience. Please contact Paulette Walden at pwalden@houstonjewish.org. HCRJ also has some scholarship funds available. Please contact Rabbi Gross at 713/782-4162 or rabbigross@hcrj.org |
