Religious School Our Curriculum
Our Curriculum
Our programs inspire Jewish children to forge friendships and creates a fun, fulfilling, meaningful and rich lifelong Jewish Journey based on Torah, Jewish beliefs, values, traditions and innovative teaching. We offer numerous educational access points for students to find their entry point into the Jewish community in a way that speaks to them personally. We understand the needs of an ever-changing world and continue to advance our program to be accessible to today’s modern family.
Raising Good Jewish People
The Barry Ira Graff School for Living Judaism (SLJ) offers a unique experiential approach to Jewish education for students in Pre-Kindergarten through Twelfth Grade. Our goal is to deepen your child’s Jewish identity, engage with core Jewish values and traditions, and become part of a community through our social action initiatives.
Bringing Learning to Life
Celebrating Judaism Together
Participating in services and community-wide celebrations brings Judaism to life. Whether it's Congregation B’nai Israel’s Super Bowl Shabbat or a community candle lighting, we cherish every opportunity to come together and embrace Jewish traditions.
Strengthening Jewish Identity Through Family Learning
Family plays a crucial role in shaping Jewish identity. Whole-family learning helps bring Jewish traditions into the home. Our Mishpacha Moments offer parents and children the opportunity to learn side by side. Each grade has one Mishpacha Moment per year, with sessions available on both Tuesdays and Sundays—ensuring all families can participate, regardless of their child’s SLJ attendance day.
Living Our Values Through Community Service
Acts of kindness and community service are at the heart of our program. Religious school students engage in meaningful mitzvah projects both on and off campus as part of Congregation B’nai Israel’s annual Mitzvah Day. Additionally, families are encouraged to take part in ongoing social action initiatives throughout the year, reinforcing the value of tikkun olam (repairing the world).
