Our Religious School programs will begin on Sunday, Sept. 8.
During the 2024-2025 school year, children in our kindergarten through eighth grade program will be learning about Jewish values.
The fall semester will focus on Jewish art through the lens of Hiddur Mitzvah (making a mitzvah more beautiful with ritual objects like using special a Kiddush cup instead of just any old cup).
Then the spring semester will focus on a different value each week, such as piku’ach nefesh (saving lives), kibbud z’keinim (honoring our elders), and bikkur cholim (visiting the sick).
The Torah Tots (preschool class for children ages 3-4) will be focusing on Torah stories and Jewish holidays.
All students will also learn Hebrew at age-appropriate levels and be taught by dedicated and nurturing teachers under the direction of Rabbi Ahuva.
If you are interested in enrolling your children in our preschool through the eighth-grade Religious School program, you can contact Rabbi Ahuva through the Or Ami website or register at https://or-ami.com/registration/
