Religious School
At our Temple Avodah Religious School, we strive to bring Judaism to our students in a warm, inclusive, safe, and welcoming Jewish environment. We hope to provide the foundations that will enable our students to integrate meaningful Reform Judaism into their lives. Our goal is to develop and inspire a community of educated and menschlich Jewish youth. Hands on learning and family involvement play a significant role in the educational process. Through the study of Hebrew, traditions, history, holidays, customs, and Torah, our children feel that they are a part of Klal Yisrael, the widerJewish community. The skills they learn in class enable them to participate in services wherever they travel. The lessons in tikkun olam (world repair), gemilut hasadim (acts of loving kindness/social justice) and state of the art educational programming help make our students responsible and compassionate human beings. Students are encouraged to participate in all aspects of communal Jewish life. Holiday celebrations through ritual, prayer, music and crafts are an integral part of life in the Religious School.
The Temple Avodah Religious School is home to over one hundred students in grades one through twelve. Middle and High schoolers attend our Hebrew High School program, Kesher Kef. Classes usually have no more than fifteen to eighteen students, so that teachers can develop close working relationships with their students. Classes meet once weekly in all grades for one hour. Students are encouraged to attend services on Friday nights as well.
Our faculty is a diverse community of caring adults who make Judaism come alive. They, along with the Director, work as part of the team that includes the PTO, the Rabbi, the Cantor, and a group of teen tutors to support our students on the road to Bar/Bat Mitzvah, and Jewish adulthood.
Our goal is to help our children strengthen their Jewish identities in a fun, stress-free and meaningful way.
