Our
Religious School
Rabbi Gross and our educators 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 faith. These concepts are uniquely taught through cooking, art, nature, drama, music and other interactive activities. 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." 2010 Religious School Application
