The Religious School at TBS creates a learning environment with a curriculum designed to nurture and instill within our children a strong sense of pride in heritage, practice, connection to Israel, and observance of Jewish tradition. Together, we can celebrate our children and the world they will both inherit and build.

Curriculum
Learn It, Love It, Live It
This year, our school will be using ShalomLearning’s values based curriculum and Hebrew program in grades K-7. This award-winning program was developed by a team of Jewish and secular educators and curriculum developers. Our school is among 120 partner synagogues making Jewish education more engaging and relevant for our students.
-
The ShalomLearning's values-based curriculum explores seven Jewish values and their relevance in our everyday lives. Students will learn to use Jewish sources to make responsible decisions and build positive relationships.
-
Using the ShalomLearning Hebrew program, we will teach your children to read Hebrew, chant prayers, and understand their meaning. At home, your child can log into the ShalomLearning portal to practice.
-
Learning together in a virtual classroom, students will interact with each other in a real-time, teacher-led class. By being able to log in from home (or anywhere), students understand that learning and Judaism happen everywhere, not just in the Religious School.
Shabbat Services
In order for our religious school children and families to have a more meaningful experience, attendance at Friday night services is encouraged. Participation has many benefits for the entire family, including learning prayers, gaining comfort in the sanctuary, singing melodies, and preparing for B'nei Mitzvah. Most importantly, joining services fosters a connection to our broader community.
