Jewish Learning for Life Our Religious School program seeks to provide an education designed to inspire our students to lead lives as identifying Jews, ethical human beings and to enable our students to become constructive citizens of our country and community. Our students learn these core values through:
Small classes with experienced Jewish educators
Hands-on classroom activities and class electives (everything from Jewish cooking and Israeli dance to Jewish ethics)
Field trips and guest speakers
Israel programs like DEFI (Drop Everything for Israel)
Community service and leadership opportunities
About Our School We seek to create a learning environment that is warm, challenging and enticing, and to create a love of learning and a strong Jewish connection that will stay with our students throughout their lives. Nearly 250 children attend CBE’s Religious School in grades Kindergarten through Confirmation. Classes are once a week on Sundays for grades K-2 and twice a week for grades 3-7. Hebrew instruction begins in grade 2, our Bet class. We offer Bar and Bat Mitzvah preparation and a high school program on Monday evenings which includes study with our Rabbi and confirmation in the tenth grade. In addition we offer tailored programming for students with special needs.
