Religious School

Our Religious School meets on Sunday mornings, teaching children from kindergarten through B'nai Mitzvah age. The school emphasizes a joyous exploration of the Jewish tradition and community service learning. We cover basic Hebrew language skills, Jewish holidays, ritual, and history, and Jewish views of social justice.

Religious School tuition is included in membership dues, provided that the membership dues are at least $400 if one child is enrolled in the school and $800 if two or more children are enrolled. If dues are less than those amounts, then the member must pay the difference between the dues and those amounts as tuition. If a member or member family has income of less than $25,000 please discuss dues with Erica Zimmerman, Sunday School administrator, at mczim4 (at) comcast (dot) net. Sunday School tuition for non-members is $500 per child.
