The educational mission of Temple Bet Yam's Religious School is to provide children and their families the opportunity to learn, experience, and appreciate Jewish culture, tradition, and heritage.
This mission begins at birth and is a life long endeavor. Through an interactive learning environment, we will nurture our families' Jewish identity within our community and with our fellow Jews around the world.
Temple Bet Yam's Religious School starting in the Fall of 1999. Since then, many students have sucessfully graduated from our program through becoming B'nai Mitzvah. Students can begin Religious School upon entering Kindergarten. Two years ago, our Confirmation class was created, to allow our post-B'nai Mitzvah students to formally continue their education. We welcome all students from Kindergarten through 12th grade to participate in our educational program.

This month we are “repairing the world!”The students are studying the concept of Tikkun Olam and how they can contribute to making their world a better place in which to live.Social justice is an important concept in Judaism, and the students will be learning about it first hand as they work on a community action project of their choosing.
As always, the Religious School welcomes the support and involvement of all congregants.Please contact our director Joan Guglielmo if you are interested in sharing an activity, have ideas for a project, or simply want to offer your time.There are many ways in which children learn, and your life experiences can help enrich their lives.
