Temple Israel Religious School Schedule
In 2009, Temple Israel reopened its religious school after several years of inactivity. The Religious School program is centered on helping introduce the children to synagogue life, Jewish ritual, Torah stories, and the Hebrew language. The most important goals of the program are three-fold:
1) To help the children feel comfortable in the synagogue
2) To help them feel at home in any Jewish community they come in contact with
3) To help them develop their own unique Jewish identities.
Temple Israel hopes to see its religious school grow in the coming year. All families are welcome to participate. To learn more about Temple Israel's religious school, please contact us by using our e-mail address, info@templeisraelathol.org or by calling us on the telephone at 978 - 249 - 9481. All e-mails and telephone calls will be returned.
