Religious School Information
Temple Shalom Religious School
The ultimate mission of the Temple Shalom Religious School is to
provide an education that will inspire the children to become
committed Jewish adults. To achieve this mission, our school
curriculum stresses: Customs & Ceremonies; Hebrew Reading; Prayer;
Bible/Torah; History; Israel; Current Events; Music; Dance;
Shabbat; Tzedakah; Judaic Arts & Crafts; Jewish Holidays; Chanting
Torah & Haftarah; Judaism (in all its forms); Ethics; Jewish Law;
Comparative Religions; Life Cycle Events and the Jewish Community
and World.
Our educational process includes family programs, parent
education, holiday enrichment activities, newsletters, speakers
and field trips.
We provide classes for children in grades Kindergarten through
12th grade. In these classes, Judaism is taught and reinforced in
a positive setting. Our Hebrew and Judaic curriculum progresses in
a developmentally age-appropriate manner. Children are encouraged
to gather the tools necessary for making moral and ethical
decisions in order to enrich their own lives as well as that of
the community.
Classes take place throughout the school year on Sundays from 9:30
am to noon as well as on Tuesday afternoons from 4:30-6 (grades
3-7); the schedule for students in the 8th-10th grades varies.
Registration takes place during August, but new students are
welcome throughout the year. Many parents are involved in various
aspects of the religious school through participation in the
religious school PTO. For more information on the PTO, refer to
the PTO Page.
