The Religious School |
| The School at Temple Beth Am strives to meet the challenge of creating literate youths with positive identities as Reform Jews. Our program is seeing continuous improvement and our students are involved in the learning process in such a way that one can feel their "ruach" (spirit) and joy in the hallways. | |

| Pre-K
thru Grade 2 The primary program for pre-kindergarten through second grade consists of a two hour class every Sunday from September to May from either 8:50am-10:45am or 11:15am-1:10pm. For the young Jewish child temple life is a new concept. Family religious celebrations are critical for the development of the child's Jewish identity. The education the children receive in religious school is intended to compliment the Jewish learning experience they receive at home. In class, students explore Jewish holidays, traditions and customs through stories, art, and cooking. They develop a positive Jewish identity and become familiar and comfortable in the temple environment. In addition to the above, formal Hebrew instruction begins in Grade 2. |
|
| Library/Music Every other Sunday, students go to the library to hear a story read by our librarian, Marsha Massey or one of our many parent volunteers. The children are encouraged to take out Jewish books, which they can bring home for the week. On the alternate Sundays, they participate in music class with our wonderful music teacher, Don Levey. They learn the “latest” Jewish music as well as some prayers. Both specialties complement what the children are learning in class. |
|
| Bible Students visit our bible specialist, Phyllis Trincia, each Sunday. Ms. Trincia brings the week’s Parasha (Torah portion) to life through story telling, puppets, and drama. The students are often heard discussing their new knowledge in the hallways and car rides home. |
