Primary (grades K-2)

Kindergarten (Gan), First Grade (Aleph) and Second Grade (Bet)
Our mission is to provide an engaging, interactive, enjoyable introduction to synagogue involvement, developing a positive foundation for Jewish education, to nurture friendships among children as they engage in activities, and enriching experiences that foster involvement in Jewish life within their families, the community, and throughout the world.

Religious School
Weekly Religious School Sunday mornings 9:30-11:30 am or
Monthly Religious School (For Kindergarten and 1st Grades) Sunday mornings 9:30-11:30 am

Chaverim
Chaverim (Friendship) is a social group for Kindergarten, First, and Second Grade students. Meeting six to seven times during the school year, programs and trips are designed to foster friendships among children.  Many of our students attend different schools, and live in different neighborhoods. These activities provide a venue where Jewish friendships can be nurtured while performing acts of kindness (chesed), experience a trip or even bake for holidays.

Shabbat in Pajamas and Sweats
This is a monthly Friday night primary program for families. We begin at 5:00 pm with a child-friendly meal, followed by stories and games for our Kindergarten, First, and Second Grade participants. The evening is led by Susan Werk (Education Director), along with Rabbi Lucas, Cantor Caplan, and Religious School staff.

Tov M’od Choir
Cantor Joel Caplan leads our second through sixth-graders each Sunday morning. Come join this rewarding program. Our children develop a love of Jewish music and of singing with a group. The choir performs in local nursing homes, at community gatherings, and at Shabbat morning services.
