School News
Recently, we entered into an agreement to combine our religious school with Temple Beth-El . As you may be aware for years we have had our older students participate in Ivrit classes with Temple Beth-El.
This new school will provide a number of benefits not only for our students, but for the Jewish community at-large. Here are some key highlights:
- This will model the true meaning of Klal Yisrael for our students by increasing the sense of Jewish community and partnership for our students and families.
- It will provide more optimal class sizes for grades 3 through 8.
- Students will receive a deeper, more meaningful Jewish education, with exposure to both Reform and Conservative Judaism and will understand the key differences – but also see how we are also very much alike.
- Religious school students will now benefit from attending weekly classes that will meet either Sundays, Saturdays or Friday evenings during different parts of the year.
- Hebrew education will continue to take place on Tuesdays.
- Hebrew tutoring will be held Thursdays either via Zoom or computer software.
Fees are expected to be approximately $100 for birth-2nd grade; $1,100 for grades 3-7 and $300 for grade 8 and above. B’nai Mitzvah fees will continue to be paid to each congregation.
