Religious School - בית ספר

Anshe Emeth’s Religious School provides a quality Jewish education for students pre-K through 12th grade. Our rabbis, professional staff and temple members share their commitment to education and the celebration of Jewish life. The two co-mingle in our curriculum which emphasizes God, Torah and the people of Israel through the study of Jewish religious practice and prayers, holiday and customs, history, Hebrew and a commitment to Israel.

Every grade has at least one special program that celebrates their accomplishments. The celebrations vary by grade and include a music Tefillah service for our primary grades, breakfast with the Rabbi, third grade celebration of the students’ ability to read Hebrew, fourth grade naming ceremony, and fifth grade Torah service. We all look forward to the sixth grade retreat, when rabbis, cantor, executive director and sixth grade students share a week-end at Camp Harlam engaged in educational programming, Shabbat and Havdalah service, meals, crafts, singing and hopefully snow and sledding.

Religious School

Va'ad Torah is the AEMT committee that focuses on our Religious School, Va'ad Horim (PTO), Adult Education, and the Gan.

One aspect of Va’ad Torah is to implement the goals of the Anshe Emeth Religious School as set forth in the religious school mission statement and by Rabbi Miller, Rabbi Epstein, and the Board of Trustees. The Va’ad Torah will advise, promote, and participate in religious school programs and policy making to provide the best Jewish education possible. The Va’ad Torah will endeavor to accomplish their goals by forming a partnership with the Rabbis and the Temple community.

Key functions of the Va’ad Torah will be assisting in the formulation and development of new and existing programs within the religious school, actively promoting religious school activities, including participating in them as necessary, and aiding in the carrying out of the religious school policies the Committee helps to develop.

To become involved with the Va’ad Torah or to direct a concern or suggestion contact Rabbi Epstein, Marc Rothstein (Va’ad Torah Co-Chair), or Barbara Peabody (Va’ad Torah Co-Chair).

We believe very strongly that Jewish education can only succeed when it is accompanied by strong parental reinforcement. We have your children in school for only a small amount of time; we cannot possibly hope to reach them without your help. You are the primary influence in their lives.

In accordance with this philosophy, many exciting special programs have been planned for the year, both for the students alone and with their parents. These activities and celebrations enhance the more formal learning experiences of the classroom and help children grow in their Jewish lives. In addition to our Open House Program, parents are invited to attend various holiday celebrations and Shabbat dinners. You will find these events listed in the Temple Bulletin and on the Religious School Calendar. Please come and help us celebrate being Jewish!

In addition, your help is an essential component to ensuring the success of the program and the school. To volunteer to help on a particular program, serve as a room parent, be involved in the Purim Carnival, or help at Shabbat Dinners, please contact Tamara Busch, chair of the Va’ad Horim (PTO). Your time and efforts will be appreciated by the school and by your children.
