The Einhorn Center for Jewish Education

Does your child love to sing, create, and make new friends?

At The Einhorn Center for Jewish Education at Congregation Beth Emeth, we offer a fun and enriching Religious School program for children in age 4 - Grade 10. The best part? Tuition is FREE with synagogue membership!

Here's why your child will LOVE The Einhorn Center for Jewish Education:

• Engaging Classes: Our spirited curriculum combines academics with cultural activities like art, music, and even cooking! We also have a lending library, junior choir, and Hebrew enrichment programs.
• Something for Every Age: From age 4 to teens, we have programs designed to meet your child's needs and interests.
• Teen Leadership Opportunities: For teens who are past their B’nai Mitzvah, we offer our Teen Leadership Club (TLC) for Grades 8 and 9, Grade 10 Confirmation Class, and we offer leadership opportunities for Grades 7 - 12 as Madrichim or Teen Aides, helping out in our classrooms.
• Make Lifelong Friends: The Einhorn Center for Jewish Education is a warm and welcoming community where your child can connect with other Jewish kids.

Here's a peek at what we offer...

• The Discovery Room (Infants - Preschoolers): This welcoming space for our young members and their grownups offers supervised play while older siblings attend religious school on Sundays.
• ARBA for Fours!: Is your 4-year-old curious about Judaism? Our twice-monthly ARBA program on Sundays introduces them to Jewish traditions in a fun and interactive way.
• Sunday Mornings (Grades K - 7): Our Sunday sessions run from 9:30 am - 12:00 pm.
• Wednesdays (Grades 3 - 6): For our older students, we have additional Wednesday afternoon classes from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm.

• Confirmation (Grade 10): Confirmation classes are a special time for these students to delve deeper into their Jewish identity. Dates and times are determined in consultation with the clergy office.
• Hebrew Reading Pods (Grades 3-6): These virtual small group sessions provide personalized Hebrew instruction for students outside of regular class sessions.
• Jr. Choir (Grades K-6): Does your child love to sing? Join our Jr. Choir and perform at special services throughout the year!

This is what we think about inclusion...

At the Einhorn Center for Jewish Education we believe that including students of all abilities in school programming is essential for creating an inclusive, supportive, and equitable learning environment. When students of varying abilities learn and participate together, it fosters empathy, respect, and collaboration among peers. After all, we are all b'tzelem elohim, made in God's image!

Inclusive programs ensure that every student has access to the same opportunities for growth, creativity, and success, regardless of their physical, cognitive, or emotional differences. This not only benefits students with disabilities by promoting their social and academic development but also enriches the educational experience for all students by reflecting the diverse world they live in. Ultimately, inclusion helps build stronger, more compassionate communities both inside and outside the classroom.

If your child requires any accommodations to fully participate and succeed in Einhorn Center programming, please don't hesitate to reach out. We are committed to supporting all students and want to work with you to ensure your child has what they need to thrive. Feel free to contact Sara Salitan-Thiell, LCSW directly with any specific needs, questions, or concerns. All conversations are confidential. Sara can be reached at Principal@CBEAlbany.org
