The Tree of Life Religious School has a three-year spiral curriculum. That is, we rotate from year to year among three overarching themes: Jewish stories (sacred text), Jewish values (observances both ethical and ritual), and Jewish journeys (history). By the time we complete the three-year cycle and return to a particular topic, each child has reached a higher developmental level and is able to appreciate the material in a new way.

The theme for the 2019-20 Religious School year is Mitzvot / Jewish Values, both ethical and ritual. The Mitzvot / Jewish Values Curriculum explores the choices we make and the relationships we cultivate with God, the world, our community, and ourselves.
All are invited to the morning service, 10:00 – 10:45 am (even if you are not accompanying a child!). After the service, classes run according to age, 10:45 am – 12:00 noon.
Hebrew School takes place 12:15 – 1:15 pm. It is recommended for 2nd – 7th graders. Beginner or advanced, your child is welcome!
