Congregation education day,
Sunday November 23, 10-12 - Our theme is life cycle and we're gathering a panel of congregants to share a life cycle event (birth, b'nei mitzvah, wedding, etc) that was particularly impactful. To participate, contact Jennifer.

Hebrew Buddy of the Week is back! Our Hebrew school students learn tefila in duos, with an older student or mentor helping a younger one. Every week a pair is spotlighted and their picture is posted outside the Temple office. Congrats, Claire & Oliver!

Video prayer library

Students can use the video prayer library to master prayers they're learning in Hebrew school. Watch over 50 videos of Cantor Sharlein following the Hebrew while reading & chanting prayers Temple Sholom style. Ask school staff for the student login.

Go to the library

Jewish Education at Temple Sholom is an effort among educators, parents and students to make Judaism part of who we are. We embrace making educated Jewish choices that add meaning and holiness to our lives.
