Religious School

Why do we eat challah on Friday nights? Why do people wear yarmulkes in synagogue? Who invented the tree in our backyard? Have more questions in your house than answers? Send the kids to us. Temple Emanu-El’s Religious School educates children from Kindergarten through Seventh grade on the fundamentals of Judaism:  holiday celebrations, prayer, Hebrew, and the long-standing Jewish tradition of intellectual exploration.  We believe that learning about Judaism should be fun, engaging, and memorable.  That’s why every year students have a mixture of religious and cultural experiences ranging from collecting apples from local farms and delivering them to the RI Community Food Bank to partying at Purim. All the while, students are building their own Jewish community. If you want your children to learn about Judaism, we want to teach them.  Our Religious School prides itself on creating a welcoming environment for all types of families and children of all learning abilities.  Go ahead, give us a try.
