Our mission is to provide an engaging, interactive, enjoyable introduction to synagogue involvement, developing a positive foundation for Jewish education, to nurture friendships among children as they engage in activities, and enriching experiences that foster involvement in Jewish life within their families, the community, and throughout the world.

Dalet – Fourth Grade: Sunday 9:30-11:30 am and Wednesday 3:30-5:30 pm

Chalutzim (Youth Group)
Many of our youngsters attend different schools, and live in many neighborhoods. These activities provide a venue where Jewish friendships can be nurtured while performing acts of kindness, experiencing a trip or even learning a magic trick! Chalutzim is a social group for Third, Fourth and Fifth Graders. Six to seven times during the year, programs and trips are designed to foster friendships among youngsters.
Torah Reading Team
Twice a month on Saturday mornings, at 10:15 am, participants learn the basic Torah trope (cantillation symbols) and how to read Torah. Students voluntarily take a verse (or more) and work with teenagers and staff members to learn their assigned reading, which will be chanted later at a Junior Congregation service.
Tov M’od Choir
Weekly on Sundays, at 11:30 am, Cantor Joel Caplan leads our 2nd- to 6th-graders in this program designed to nurture the children who participate and share a love of Jewish music and of singing with a group. The choir performs in local nursing homes, at community gatherings, and at Shabbat services.
If you have any questions regarding these programs please contact our Education Department.
