In 1984, four couples and one Rabbi dreamed of starting a new reform synagogue in Boca Raton, Florida. H4

They envisioned a synagogue that was about the people, the “congregation,” and one that had the best school around. Four soon became seven and the dream finally became a reality. With Mimi and Michael Abramson, Wendy and Jim Friedland, Sue and Howard Goldman, Barbara and Henry Janus, Barbara and Burton Metsch, Renee and Joel Nadel, Michelle and Joseph Wasch, and Rabbi Richard and Mindy Agler at the helm, Congregation B’nai Israel was formed and soon became the fastest-growing reform synagogue in the country.

Services and classes began at the Center for Group Counseling in Boca Raton. H5/H6

Teachers were volunteers. Books were donated. Members baked the cakes and cookies for Friday night oneg Shabbat. As the congregation grew, the space became too small, and a place of our own was needed. We broke ground in 1989 and the home of Congregation B’nai Israel was built.

We are now considered one of the landmark reform congregations in the country. Our programs are rich and varied. We strive to educate and inspire our children, youth, and adults. We encourage our members to actively participate in worship and Torah study.

Cognitive Learning

This is more than learning. It is learning how to learn. The skills our children develop today will become the foundation for a lifetime. These skills include organization, focus, perseverance and problem solving. Our children become comfortable with concepts from the worlds of social studies, science, math, language and computers. They learn reading readiness, and when they’re ready, they learn to read. They participate in a hands-on science program. They travel around the globe, sometimes without leaving the classroom, other times by taking local field trips, and they farm an “Environmental Awareness Garden” adjacent to one of our playgrounds. They broaden their horizons. They leave us much more knowledgeable than when they arrived. But they don’t think of it as having handled the work of learning, they think of it as having fun.

Motor Skills

Meeting our mission to maximize potential requires that we help our children prepare their bodies as well as their minds. Gross motor skills are critical to building strong minds and bodies that are ready to learn. To meet this goal, we have five different playgrounds, each with it’s own gross motor and social skills focus. Our physical education and yoga teachers join our classroom teachers to develop our children’s upper body strength, lower body strength, core body strength, coordination and balance. They also sharpen their pretending skills. Fine motor skills prepare our children for self-help skills and for learning to write.

Our curriculum features activities like finger painting, easel painting, water color painting, gluing, cutting, crunching and more. In later years, students participate in our stroke curriculum, writing letters of the alphabet, dictating skills and writing daily journals.

Self-Help Skills

Our Self-Help Curriculum takes our children on the journey from dependence on parents and caregivers to self-reliance with a strong self-image and positive attitude. Our children have a strong sense of “can do” that serves them well throughout their lives. Parents marvel as their children get on stage to perform, get on school buses for field trips, put on their own coats, wash and dry their own hands and put away their toys. Our children live up to our high expectations in an atmosphere of nurturing and support.
