Mission & Values

The Community Synagogue’s learning programs use a value-based approach to Jewish education. In addition to the components of teaching Jewish festivals and Hebrew, Jewish studies are organized in order to enable our students to embrace seven key values that we see as central to Judaism.

We want our children to grow up with a sense of what it means to be a Jew and to have positive feelings about their Jewish identity.  Therefore, in each grade, we seek to introduce students to new concepts and challenge them to explore their Judaism in new ways. 

Our learning programs have been designed with our school goals in mind, so as to provide each child with a well-rounded, engaging Jewish education.  Each grade has a specific curricular focus for their yearly studies.  In addition, Hebrew language and learning about the holidays are built into each grade’s curriculum.
