  • Religious School

    Our religious school is very unique in that all of our Judaica staff are volunteers.  Over 70 people teach in some capacity during the year.  Many of the teachers are parents but some are long time members of the congregation.  We have some that have been on our staff for over 25 years.  We also have several juniors and seniors that return after Confirmation to volunteer.  The teens are wonderful role models to the children in the school.

    Our primary department and upper school department meet at Etz Chaim on Sunday mornings.  The intermediate department meets at Etz Chaim on Wednesdays and at our satellite site on Sunday mornings.

    We are very proud of our school and its accomplishments.  We have a very high percentage of our students continuing on after bar/bat mitzvah.  We also put a large emphasis on family education, encouraging our parents to be a part of their child's Jewish education.
