Family Education

The family is the key to the survival of the Jewish people and parental involvement is a crucial element in the development of Jewish family life. Guided by these principles, the Beth El Temple Religious School makes available many opportunities for family experience and Jewish learning.

Family learning opportunities are scheduled for each grade level, giving families the opportunity to explore together topics contained within our school curriculum. These programs take place on Sunday mornings during the context of regular classes and it is our hope that parents will join their children for these important experiences. Parents are also encouraged to participate in serious adult learning through classes offered on Sunday mornings, providing the opportunity to study as adults what the children are learning in Religious School classes.

Throughout the year, Shabbat and holiday times are highlighted by special family experiences for all. They include participation in our Shabbat Seder programs and provide the opportunity for families to share Shabbat dinner and interact socially with other families in their grade. Other programs center on the Shabbat morning and Shabbat afternoon (Mincha/Maariv/Havdallah) services and may feature a meal as well as an educational component. When a RSVP is called for, we ask that you respond promptly in order that we are able to plan appropriately.
