Educating our Children

Engaging Our Children

Teach children how they should live, and they will remember it all of their life.  (Proverbs 22:6)

Teach Your Children Well.  (Graham Nash, 1969)

Whichever source you prefer, teaching our children is an essential Jewish value.  At Adat Shalom we strive to create a strong connection to Jewish values, including social action, our community, the State of Israel, and Torah.  We are committed to instilling in our children a love of Judaism and Jewish learning.

We’ve spent more than this past COVID year listening to you, learning with your kids, and talking with our colleagues locally and around the country to create a Jewish educational program that reflects the values of Adat Shalom and Reconstructionist Judaism and that will prepare our children to be confident and knowledgeable about Jewish values and practices.

We do this through creative and experiential programming that is relevant, age- appropriate, and innovative.  Our teaching staff share their sense of joy; invite questioning and engagement in what the students are learning; and expose them to new ideas, issues, and opportunities for connection.  Our students are as diverse as our community, with a full spectrum of learning styles. Our program is designed to support our plurality in a way that honors individual needs while nurturing group spirit.

Limmud@AdatShalom is open to member and non-member families and in 2022-23, we also have special introductory member rates for families with school-age children. We invite you to click through the sections on the website and don’t hesitate to contact us with questions.

Welcome!  ברוך הבא Baruch Haba!
