Religious School Philosophy

The Sinai Temple Religious School is designed to help families provide a Jewish Education for their children and growth as a family. We seek to nurture in our students a positive, active, committed, knowledgeable Jewish identity. As a Reform Jewish institution, we seek to enable our students by helping them acquire knowledge and skills to discover their own path to authentic relationships with God, Torah and the Jewish people. We believe that the Jewish religious tradition offers a worldview, a set of values and a way of life that can provide an enormously precious anchor in the midst of a turbulent and rapidly changing world.

Our goals

• To develop a sense of community within the religious school and connection to the congregation


• To provide opportunities to explore and develop a personal relation with God.


• To help students develop a commitment to living Jewishly.


• To make a connection between Jewish moral values and actions that contribute to tikkun olam - repair of the world.


• To impart a basic foundation of Jewish literacy that allows students to participate fully in Jewish spiritual and communal practice.
