B'yachad (Pre-K) 

B'yachad is a program designed for families with Preschool age children.  Children will enjoy crafts, games and songs while learning about Jewish holidays and values.  Parents will also have adult time to discuss ways of engaging their children in Jewish holidays.

Kindergarten (Gan), First Grade (Aleph) and Second Grade (Bet)
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.

Religious School
Weekly Religious School Sunday mornings 9:30-11:30 am or
Monthly Religious School Sunday mornings 9:30-11:30 am

Chaverim
Chaverim (Friendship) is a social group for Kindergarten, First and Second Grade students. Meeting six to seven times during the school year, programs and trips are designed to foster friendships among youngsters.  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 (chesed), experience a trip or even bake for Shabbat.
