Education (Pre K-12)

Under the leadership of Rabbi Nyer, our Associate Rabbi/Educator, Temple B'nai Shalom provides an extensive educational program for students from pre-kindergarten through high school beginning with Consecration and continuing through Bar and Bat Mitzvah, Confirmation and Post-Confirmation.

We strive to enrich our children's Jewish experience and knowledge so as to strengthen their understanding of God, their identification with the Jewish people and their participation in Jewish life.

Pre-Kindergarten through Third Grade students attend classes on Sunday mornings.
Fourth through Seventh Grade students attend Hebrew School on Tuesday evenings and continue Jewish Studies on Sunday mornings. During the year prior to the Bar/Bat Mitzvah, students participate in a Tuesday evening class with Rabbi Perlin and receive individual instruction from our tutor.
Eighth and Ninth Grade students attend the YES program Sunday mornings during which they study two different subjects each semester.
Tenth Grade students meet for Confirmation Classes on Sundays with Rabbi Perlin to explore topics important to them as Jewish teens. The class writes and then leads a beautiful and creative Confirmation Class service at Shavuot.
Post-Confirmation students attend class with Rabbi Perlin for advanced study on selected Sunday evenings. This two-year program for eleventh and twelfth graders is the fastest growing program in our school.
