At Temple Israel Religious School our goal is to instill in our students a strong sense of identity with the Jewish people and the State of Israel.
Our curriculum helps students develop the knowledge and skills necessary to participate in the life of the Jewish people at home, in the synagogue and in the community at large.
Our dedicated teachers use a variety of experiential and interactive methods to fully engage our students in Hebrew reading and language, Torah, prayer, Israel studies, Jewish values, holidays, Jewish history and current events.
Highlights of our program:
– Hebrew in small groups by level (with reading specialists).
– Smart Boards with online Jewish platforms (Jewish Interactive, Israel Links…).
– Torah Godly Play – An immersive Torah experience.
– Shinshin – Young Israeli emissaries who bring Israeli culture to the classroom.
– Shabbat Ha’mishpacha – Students as young as Gimel (3rd grade) can read from Torah once a month at our Shabbat family service.
– School-wide holiday celebrations.
– Haftarah trope with the Cantor.
From recreating Avraham and Sarah’s tent to baking matzoh for Pesach; from donut decorating on Chanukah to Krav Maga on Yom Ha’atzmaut, our students are happy to come to school and immerse themselves in Jewish experiences.
Seventh grade students attend our Benei Mitzvah program tailored to their needs in this special lifecycle year.
