Religious School  

Religious School Co-Principles: Ofer Levy & Michal Maoz-Levy

Preschool through 2nd Grade: Sunday from 10:00a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Grades 3 through 8: Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. & Wednesday from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m.

Beth Shalom is a community where knowledge is shared, and a desire to learn is nurtured. Through our Religious School students find their place in history, within their families and within themselves. The rhythm of Jewish life is taught through the holidays and the structure of services and prayer. Students become comfortable and identify strongly with Israel and with Hebrew as our own special language. The concepts of justice and social responsibility are reinforced through hands-on activities that promote ethical behavior in our children. We aim at providing a strong sense of Jewish identity beginning in preschool and never ending.
