Religious School Brith Sholom's religious school provides a Jewish learning experience for children in kindergarten through seventh grade. Kindergarten, first, and second grades meet once a week on Tuesday afternoon. Grades three through seven have classes on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Students are expected to attend Shabbat and holiday services. The curriculum consists of a Hebrew program of reading, language, and prayer. Jewish studies consist of history, current events, Israel, holiday celebrations, values and Jewish customs. Our religious school students receive progress reports at the end of each trimester. Those students who achieve honor roll at least twice in a school year are eligible for a special award. Celebration of Bar/Bat Mitzvah is seen as a communal as well as family milestone. Therefore, some preparation for the ceremony is included in the school curriculum. Generally, a student will seek additional Bar/Bat Mitzvah training with a private tutor, and Brith Sholom can help with those arrangements.
