Jewish Education at Congregation B'nai Israel

We believe in the oneness of God and the divine origin of the Torah, which serves as a foundation for our religious education. As part of the Jewish community, we understand the importance of prayer, study, and good deeds. We strive to live our lives in accordance with these principles, especially as we celebrate milestones like B'nai Mitzvah.

We offer comprehensive religious education to the families of our members. Our religious school provides a strong Jewish education and fosters a vibrant Jewish community for children ages 3 through B'nai Mitzvah.

We host a joyful Tot Shabbat, and our 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students also participate in virtual Hebrew classes. Additionally, our 6th and 7th grade students enjoy a rewarding and supportive experience as they work directly with our spiritual leader to prepare for their B'nai Mitzvah.

The Vision and Mission of the Congregation B’nai Israel Religious School include:

* Fostering our students in building a strong and positive Jewish identity.

* Helping our students cultivate relationships with Jewish peers within our congregation as well as with the greater Jewish community both locally and globally.

* Assisting students in understanding Jewish values and their relevance in everyday life.

* Celebrating holidays, traditions, and important life cycle events.

* Engaging with liturgical Hebrew so that students know and understand prayers, and how the Jewish language informs Jewish values.

* Participating in acts of Tikkun Olam, Tzedakah, and G'milut Chasadim.

We offer a weekly Torah Study and a monthly Forum to discuss current Jewish issues, fostering a vibrant Jewish community. We also look forward to providing adult education classes that will enhance our religious education, including preparations for B'nai Mitzvah in the near future.
