Philosophy of our Religious School

The Temple Adath B’nai Israel Religious School seeks to provide a Religious education that is: age appropriate, engaging, informative, creative, and identity building for students pre-k through Confirmation.  Because God, Torah, and Israel are major tenets of Judaism, these core concepts are the foundation of our school curriculum.  The enduring understandings we seek to foster are a sense of God, a love of Torah, and a connection with the people and land of Israel.  Our students experience Judaism through holiday celebrations, performing mitzvot (commandments/ethical living), participating in Shabbat worship, and g’milut chasadim (acts of loving kindness).  Active participation in Jewish learning is a pathway to building community, enriching spirituality, sustaining Jewish continuity and tikun olam (repairing the world).

Preschool

The pre-school meets weekly.  See the  Religious School News or Calendar of Events for actual dates and times.  The curriculum will focus on the major holidays of the year and one will be covered each month.

To become involved in the preschool activities, contact: Rabbi Friedman or Elissa Bakke.

K- 12th grade

Religious Education and Hebrew School are available to children of families who are congregational members.

Religious School is in session Sundays through the school year. There are approximately 40 children attending the school in kindergarten through ninth grade.

All holidays and festivals are celebrated and studied.  We  hope the children will learn to take pride in their heritage. The success of our religious school depends on the commitment of  our teachers, students and parents.  

Hebrew School is also on Sundays.  Children entering the 3rd grade from families who are congregational members are eligible.  Any questions should be directed to Rabbi Friedman.

Adult Education

Adult Education begins in autumn with study and discussion of topical issues.  This class will be called "What does Judaism say about...?"  Classes meet every other Sunday from 10:30  - 11:30.

We also have special programs and guest speakers at the Temple made possible in part by funding through the Bronstein Foundation. Information about such programs are found in the Calendar of Events.

If you are interested in participating in Adult Education,  you may call the Temple office.
