Mission Statement

We strive to:

• teach the values, ethics, and issues of Reform Judaism to support the personal choices our children will make.
• give students a secure place to help them develop and discover their personal relationship with God and their Jewish identity.
• introduce our children to the Hebrew language so they will be able to participate effectively in synagogue tefillah (prayer service), and have the foundation to understand Hebrew as a living language.
• provide our children with meaningful, joyful experiences in the practices of Jewish ceremonies, holidays, customs, laws, rituals and observances at home, at synagogue and in the community.
• stimulate in our children a deep concern and affection for the State of Israel and its people, along with a sense of community and responsibility towards Jews in our own community and throughout the world.
• foster the Jewish values of tzedakah (acting righteously) and gemilut chasadim (loving deeds) through active involvement in a “curriculum of caring.”
• develop in our children a knowledge and appreciation of Jewish art, dance, history, literature and music.
• create a link between Temple and home through family Jewish education, so that Jewish education becomes a family priority and commitment.
• encourage all students to continue their Jewish learning after becoming Bar/Bat Mitzvah.
