Learning
Religious School
OUR RELIGIOUS SCHOOL MISSION
Our goal is to provide both an educational and enriching learning environment for children ages Tots - 18. We strive to nurture the child’s Jewish identity while simultaneously providing an atmosphere that is welcoming and comfortable. A primary benefit to our Religious School is the exposure to other Jewish children which can stimulate personal growth for each child and provide a long lasting bond to our Jewish traditions. We encompass a wide range of learning opportunities that range from Hebrew, Torah studies and Jewish Customs to Educational Games, Stories, Music and Art. This broad educational approach is designed to help all children learn and have fun when at Religious School.
Torah Tots and Hebrew High usually attend once a month. Specific dates are announced in our weekly Bulletin
Adult Education
TORAH STUDY (Knosh & Knowledge Bagel Bar)
Join Rabbi Judy to explore our Torah and other Texts. The schedule of Torah Study will be in our weekly newsletters. All are welcome. We plan to begin this program in October, 2025.
OTHER EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
Rabbi Judy will offer a variety of opportunities for learning throughout the year. She offers an Introduction to Judaism class each year which is open to anyone in the community. She also offers Conversion Classes for adults. Contact Rabbi Judy at rabbi@jewishtemple.org for more information.
B'Mitzvah
Becoming a B’Mitzvah (Bar or Bat Mitzvah) at Congregation Gemiluth Chassodim is an exciting and meaningful opportunity for the entire family. Students prepare to lead the Shabbat Morning service, chant or read Torah and offer words of teaching about their readings and the prayer service. For more information on becoming a B’Mitzvah at Congregation Gemiluth Chassodim contact Rabbi Judy at rabbi@jewishtemple.org
Confirmation
In Tenth Grade our students share an interesting and elevated year of learning that solidifies their connections to Judaism, the temple community and each other. This year of study culminates with a Confirmation Ceremony on Shavuot in the Spring.
