​Educational opportunities for youth at Shir Sholom . . .

Shir Shalom Children’s Education Program was founded in 1996 by members of the Congregation who were passionate about offering a local venue to provide Jewish Education to the children of our community. Our Hebrew school is headed by Rabbi Steve Finley, Yaffa Finley, and a warm and knowledgeable staff. We're proud to offer a dynamic program for students in kindergarten through seventh grade, B’nei Mitzvah preparation, and Family Learning Days—at which all Shir Shalom members are welcome.
     
Our religious school integrates a wide array of Judaic studies with weekly emphasis on Hebrew and prayer, while also incorporating enriching activities such as music and art. We are welcoming and inclusive to all Jewish families as well as those with interfaith backgrounds.


*We are currently meeting in-person and following recommended State and County guidelines for Covid-19.

​Our 2024 - 2025 program

Kindergarten through seventh grade students meet on Wednesday afternoons with Rabbi Steve and staff from 3:30pm to 5:30pm. Students in these grades undertake intensive Hebrew study and TaNaKh (Torah, Prophets and Scriptures), while developing their siddur (prayer book) skills and exploring Jewish spiritual practice. These students participate in leading our Friday evening Family Shabbat Service.

​B'nei Mitzvah Preparation
In addition to the Hebrew reading and prayer skills learned in class, each B'nei Mitzvah child receives individual preparation with the Rabbi. 

The videos below can help students prepare for their B'nei Mitzvah:

Shabbat  
On selected Fridays, Rabbi Steve leads a spiritually interactive and musical Shabbat celebration, and participation by school children is an important part of their religious school experience. Prior to the service, we gather as a community to share a family Shabbat dinner.

CSS is grateful for financial support from the Jewish Community Federation and Endowment Fund for our children's school.
