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.

Religious School History
Temple Bet Yam's Religious School starting in the Fall of 1999. Since then, eight 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.

School days!!! Bruchim haba'im (welcome) to all our new and returning TBY Religious School kids!A great year, filled with learning and song and play is right around the corner.So many wonderful plans are underway.Ready to participate in a Congregational Learning Day—brought to us by our very own Dr. Meryl?Ready to have our wonderful Rabbi Mark come and teach us about Jewish values?Ready to go on a field trip?Or how about learning Hebrew, Jewish traditions and history, new songs, and Jewish games?
As the “new” Religious Director of Temple Bet Yam, I’d like to take a moment and express my excitement for all that’s being planned for our kids.And I’d like to thank all those who have led the school in the past.From meeting in each other’s homes to having our own beautiful sanctuary, our Religious School has been built, one child, one teacher, one director at a time during these past 17 years.It has taken—and does take—a village, or in this case, a congregation, to help our children develop a strong Jewish identity.I, and the TBY teaching staff and volunteers, look forward to bringing the strongest educational program available to our children.With guidance from Rabbi Mark we are able to ensure our program meets the highest standards.With programming from our very own Religious Educational Consultant (our one and only Dr. Meryl), we continue to have both our children and parents take an active role in Jewish development.And with the knowledge and care of our teaching staff, we know our children are learning in a structured and loving environment.
I am an avid believer in L’Dor V’dor (from one generation to another), so please consider coming in to our school and reading our children a story or teaching them a craft or song.Our children need your knowledge, your love and your support.Please feel free to contact me at 904-325-3554 with any ideas you may have.
The entire staff, children, and parents of TBY Religious School would like to wish everyone a sweet, happy, and healthy New Year.We look forward to sharing the blessings of 5771 together!
