Religious Education

We are in the process of assembling a religious school committee and are looking for volunteers. It won't take much of your time, 1 hour per month, and you will have the ability to help set the goals, objectives and actions for this committee. Anyone is welcome to join, regardless if you have ever had kids in the religious school. Please come be apart of this group and help drive our direction.

We will meet at the temple monthly on Sundays between 10:00 am and 11:00 am during the school year.

I look forward to a working with a great team of committed and passionate members.

School Calendar

A strong commitment to Jewish education is reflected in Temple Sinai's progressive Religious school program. Along with the approved URJ curriculum, our faculty accentuates Judaism through experience. Students may meet with a community group, participate in children's plays or musical events, or partake in a model Seder. We strive to give our children a true sense of community as they learn Hebrew, traditions, history and ethics. The Religious school teaches the children to actively celebrate their Judaism so that it becomes a part of their lives. The Rabbi, the Director and the Religious school Board provide direction for the program.

The Religious School can be reached at extension 15 on the Temple's phone system.

School cancellations will be listed with WTIC 1080AM and WFSB Channel 3.

Call and we'll save you a seat."

Temple Sinai has a Sunday school class for special needs children who have developmental disabilities. The class focuses on the spirit and ideals of the Jewish holidays and Jewish life through the sharing of prayers, rituals and songs. Holidays are presented through the use of music, stories, games and other creative techniques of communicating these concepts. For additional information, please call Joyce Sturm in the Temple office. Check back for new classes to be offered.

The Religious School Parent Education Series, a program designed to offer you a casual exploration of Judaism, is something new. Please check back here for upcoming events.
