Religious School

From preschool through the post-b'nai mitzvah years, Temple Beth Torah's Morris Nirenberg Religious School instills Jewish growth, involvement and learning for your children and you! Beth Torah Tots - Preschool children and their parents meet once a month to experience Jewish traditions, values, and holidays in a small group setting to develop your child's Jewish Identity. Gan (kindergarten) introduces children to the joys of being Jewish, through holiday crafts, songs and Bible stories. More formal Jewish education begins with Sunday morning Aleph (grade 1) and Bet (grade 2) classes and continues with twice-weekly Hebrew school for grades 3 through 7. The school gives each child intensive Bar or Bat Mitzvah training and our B'nai Mitzvah Committee pitches in to ensure every child - and family- is prepared for this important day. Tutoring is available for children with special educational needs. Of course, we believe learning shouldn't stop at age 13! Teens in grades eight through 10 enjoy weekly confirmation classes designed to stimulate their Jewish identity and help them to maintain ties to the community. Adults of all ages learn to analyze Torah, read Hebrew and perform Jewish rituals through our weekly adult education classes and regular Sunday morning "Nosh & 'Drash" sessions with the Rabbi. All classes are taught by highly-qualified professionals under the leadership of our education director. Adult education and Hebrew school are open to members only. All education programs are available to the general public.
