Nurturing Jewish Identity Through Joy and Discovery

At Congregation Beth Shalom, we create a dynamic and engaging learning environment where children develop strong Jewish identities through meaningful experiences and connections, all while having fun.

We call our religious school Pri-khah (Hebrew for “blooming”) to reflect that in our children’s education we are nurturing the future of our community. Our curriculum weaves together the core values of Torah (study), avodah (worship), gemilut chasadim (loving acts of kindness), and tikkun olam (social justice) to help students discover their place in the Jewish story.

Program Details

  • Ages: 1st grade through 7th grade, grouped by age
  • Time: Sundays throughout the school year, 9:30 am – 12:00 noon
