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 - 6): Our Sunday sessions run from 9:30 am - 12:00 pm.

  • Wednesdays (Grades 3 - 7): For our older students, we have additional Wednesday afternoon classes from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm.

  • Teen Leadership Club / TLC (Grades 8 and 9): Our post-B'nai Mitzvah students learn with a member of our clergy team one Sunday a month from 9:45 am - 11:45 am.

  • 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!

  • An Inclusion Coordinator: We have an excellent Inclusion Coordinator on our faculty team that is a Licensed Mental Health Clinician. She works to bring a variety of activities and support into the classrooms. This helps our students enjoy the classes more and helps to meet some of their physical and movement needs. If she can be of any assistance to you or your family while your children are attending here, feel free to reach out to us and we will have her be in touch.
