Beth El Religious School Curriculum Overview: A Journey of Connection, Meaning, and Healing

Our curriculum nurtures each child’s Jewish identity by weaving together Torah, tradition, values, and community. Through developmentally appropriate exploration of Jewish stories, holidays, mitzvot, history, Israel, and sacred relationships, students build a lifelong foundation of living proud Jewish lives.

Judaics Curriculum Overview: Building Connection Through our Collective Story

At Beth El Religious School, we guide our students to develop their understanding of Judaism in ways that are personal, meaningful, and connected to our shared tradition. Through exploration of Torah, Jewish texts, and history, students develop thinking skills that link them to generations past and present. Through creative engagement with Jewish stories and traditions, they discover how Judaism can shape and inspire their daily lives.

We nurture emotional connection—to each other, to God, to Israel, and to our kehila kedosha (sacred community)—by cultivating a sense of belonging rooted in joy, empathy, and wonder. We build community through shared prayer, meals, rituals, language, and values.

We live our Judaism through acts of kindness, mitzvot, and tikkun olam, celebrating holidays and life cycle moments as a community. In doing so, we empower our students to become active participants in Jewish life—both as individuals and as members of the Jewish people.

Hebrew Studies Overview:Building Connection Through Language and Prayer

At Beth El Religious School, Hebrew is more than just a language—it is a bridge that connects our students to Torah, prayer, community, and the Jewish people across generations. Our Hebrew curriculum is designed to help students decode and read Hebrew, understand the meaning and purpose of prayer, and engage with modern and cultural Hebrew in ways that are joyful, accessible, and meaningful. Studnets

  • Learn to decode the Hebrew alphabet and vowel system, building confidence in reading Hebrew fluently.

  • Use Hebrew to explore core prayers of Jewish worship, deepening their connection to T’filah (prayer) and preparing them for participation in B'nei Mitzvah and communal services.

  • Engage with modern and cultural Hebrew, expanding their understanding of Israel, Jewish identity, and everyday Hebrew expressions.

Through interactive lessons, music, movement, and age-appropriate materials, students experience Hebrew as a living language—one that helps them feel part of a sacred tradition and a global Jewish family.
