KEHILATH ISRAEL RELIGIOUS SCHOOL

The administration and faculty of Kehilath Israel Religious School strive to:

  • convey and explore the facts of our Jewish heritage, past and present, through traditional Jewish interpretation.
  • engender a positive attitude towards Judaism; its principles, laws and customs, and to act as role models reflecting them.
  • provide an atmosphere which will promote interest and inquiry and stimulate students to strengthen their Jewish identity.
  • give students the opportunity to participate in Jewish culture, religion, and socialization through holiday celebrations, religious services and recreational activities, utilizing song, drama, prayer, and interaction with their peers.
  • encourage and activate students' self-interest in continuing Jewish studies and lifestyles throughout adolescence and adulthood.
  • familiarize students with the Jewish community, its institutions and agencies and encourage participation in their community activities.
  • assist and encourage students in cultivating strong Jewish morals and values in order to enhance thier lives and the lives of their families, both now and in the future

Since Jewish traditions are an important factor in the survival of the Jewish people, adherence to those practices will be encouraged, explained and emphasized throughout the students' years at religious school.
