Finally, a Religious School Your Children will Love! OUR FOCUS IS ON OFFERING THE PERFECT COMBINATION OF JEWISH LEARNING AND FUN, and is led by talented Cantor-
Educator Elena Schwartz. The program includes experiential programs, trips, social action projects and Shabbat and holiday celebrations. Our children grow up with a firm understanding of what it means to be a Reform Jew, are enthusiastic about prayer services, and have positive feelings about their Jewish identity. The Religious School offers flexible learning models to fit the needs of our families. Teachers use a variety of learning modalities, including Jewish art, music, library, technology and holiday celebrations to complement the classroom learning. Families are invited to “Sharing Shabbat” services for children ages two through grade three and are welcomed as a part of the Temple Sinai family. Education is a priority at Temple Sinai, and the Religious School prepares our children to take an active role in the future of the larger Jewish community. Students are given the tools to help them make personal decisions about what Judaism means for them.
