Welcome
Welcome to East End Temple's Religious School
Message from Rabbi David Adelson Spending time with our children at Religious School is one of the most inspiring, fun and optimistic things I do at the Temple. I believe deeply that — as important as it is for our children to learn about Jewish prayers, holidays, culture, and history — what’s most essential for them is the overall experience they have when they’re here. For the kids, Religious School is their Jewish community. How they feel when they are here in Religious School will shape their attitude about being a part of Jewish community for the rest of their lives. That is why we must ensure that our kids feel stimulated, engaged, and, most of all, loved when they are at Temple. Then they will know that there is a reason for them to learn Hebrew and about ways of participating in Jewish life. They will know that everything they study here will help them feel a part of this wonderful, inspiring, caring community all their lives.
