Temple Israel is a progressive Conservative Synagogue, affiliated with the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. Through our many program options, we offer educational opportunities for pre-schoolers through adults.

The first component consists of pre-kindergarten through Grade 1. This group meets on Sunday mornings from 9 a.m. until noon. The curriculum includes bible stories, prayers, music, dance, and arts & crafts. Our goal is to instill the love and joy of Judaism in even the youngest of our children and to do it in a warm, loving, and welcoming environment.

Grades 2 through 7 meet on both Sundays and Wednesdays for a total of 5 ½ hours of study each week. The curriculum includes Hebrew, Judaic Studies, Torah, Tefillah, music, art, Jewish history, and the history of Israel. We strive to continually encourage each student to explore the ideas and visions of Judaism.

Students in Grades 8 through 12 continue their studies at our community Jewish high school, Beit Hamidrash. Beit Hamidrash is the intercongregational high school program that offers teens a unique, in-depth Jewish learning experience taught by leading rabbis, educators and community leaders.
