Temple Emanu-El’s Religious School
Temple Emanu-El’s religious school engages students in an active, meaningful, and collaborative experience. We believe that Jewish life is multidimensional and interactive, and we believe its education should be as well. With guidance from parents and the synagogue at large, our Religious School provides meaningful experiences both formal and experiential. Our religious school and Shabbat programs are designed to promote a rich, vibrant Jewish culture that encourages students to develop their growing Jewish identities.
