Steve Osher, our Director for the Religious School, believes that "Jewish knowledge encompasses many things including B'nai Mitzvah training, history of the Jewish people, Torah Studies, Shabbat and Holiday Prayers. Your child will learn these things at Temple Sinai. But most of all we want your children to enjoy coming to religious school and to instill a love for Judaism and a desire to remain connected with other Jewish people and institutions."

We know how hard it is for parents and kids to juggle schoolwork and after-school activities along with religious school. We have therefore designed a "Sunday only" religious school curriculum which sacrifices none of the essential knowledge and experience of multi-day religious school programs.

Our Rabbi and Cantor take an active role in the religious education of our Temple children. Whether they are teaching music in the classroom, sharing Torah stories or leading discussions on ethical questions from a Jewish perspective, your children will grow up enjoying a close and joyful relationship with our Temple clergy.

We offer B'nai Mitzvah (Bar and Bat Mitzvah) classes for folks of every age.  All ages are encouraged to embark on the journey of the Torah.

One of the goals is for our students is to become B'nai Mitzvot, Children of the Commandments. The B'nai Mitzvah is about being called up to the Torah and thus up to G-d.  We help our children obtain the skills & tools to navigate around the challenges and potential shoals along the way of their lifelong journey.

Our goal is not just to teach the one time task of leading the congregation in prayer. It is to provide them with love of their heritage and to become Menschlik [of excellent character].  Some of the many things they will learn along the way: Public Speaking and most importantly Tzadakeh [charity].

At Temple Sinai, we look at each and every child preparing for Bar or Bat Mitzvah as a unique individual. Both the program of study and the religious ceremony itself are tailored by our Rabbi and Cantor to bring out each child's unique gifts and to highlight them. As a matter of policy, each child who becomes a B'nai Mitzvah at Temple Sinai is the sole honoree on that important occasion. We view this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for your child and family to honor this important milestone in the life of your child or grandchild.

After Bar/Bat Mitzvah, Temple Sinai offers teens a choice of ways to continue their Jewish learning.  We have a Confirmation program for directed study, and B'not Mitzvah teens are also welcomed as teachers' aides and role models for younger children in our Religious School.
