    t Temple Emanu-El’s Religious School, Jewish education is based on two core principles. First, Jewish learning is not only about the child but rather is a whole-family experience. Thus, we offer meaningful ways for every member of the family to connect with Judaism in every stage of life. Second, learning is not only about what happens in school but throughout our daily lives. Therefore, what we do in the classroom must matter to us in our homes, as we worship and in all the places we go.

    Read an article from The Jewish Week about the benefits of Religious School study vs. private tutoring, with comments by Director of Lifelong Learning Saul Kaiserman.

    Temple Emanu-El’s Religious School is committed to Jewish learning that is relevant, inspirational and transformative. We provide our students and their families with the tools to participate meaningfully in the Jewish community, with pride in their Jewish heritage and with the awareness that their actions will shape the future of the Jewish people.

    It is our conviction that successful Jewish learning environments are built upon a culture of excellence, in which the teachers share their expertise and wisdom while the students take responsibility for their own learning and success. Our staff provides a sense of caring and concern that enables our students to support one another and challenge themselves to grow as individuals. For this reason, we model the thoughtfulness and mutual respect that we seek to promote in our students.

    Our program involves parents, students and other members of our school community as stakeholders in its success. This means that you play as much of a role in shaping our school’s vision and culture as they influence you. We look forward to being your partners in this great endeavor.
