At Congregation Sinai’s Religious School, we teach each student not only the skills to fully participate in the Jewish community, but also to instill an emotional sense of love for Judaism.  Students learn hands-on skills such as lighting Shabbat candles, the Hanukah blessings, the order of a Passover Seder, the prayers in the Shabbat service, and more.  Additionally, students come away with an emotional connection to Jewish tradition, Jewish community and God.

We understand that our students bring with them a variety of learning styles.  Therefore, each of the teachers at Congregation Sinai uses all of the senses in order to teach each subject, incorporating art, movement and library visits.  Each class also spends time each month with an Israeli who has recently graduated high school in order to learn more about Israel and modern Hebrew.  This variety of learning experiences will accommodate a range of interest and learning styles.
