Designed for Pre-K to 2nd Grade students, Temple Emanu-El offers children and families the opportunity to “explore” Religious School.
Once a month, children registered in the Emanu-El Explorers program will join our school’s community, participating in vibrant learning experiences centered around rich traditions and holiday celebrations.
Emanu-El Explorers runs monthly during Religious School hours.
