Class Information
Pre-K
We offer a monthly Pre-K experience for students ages 4-5. The curriculum introduces each child to Judaism and Jewish art, food, culture, and history through the five senses. Stories, music, and art are some of the ways we explore Jewish holidays and experiences. Our program offers family interactions throughout the year. The Pre-K program is held concurrent with Temple Sinai Religious School one Sunday a month from 9:00 AM-12:00 PM. There is no cost to attend. Click here to register.

Kindergarten-
Third Grade
Kindergarten through third grade students come together Sunday mornings from 9:00 AM-12:00 PM to learn about Jewish holidays, Jewish values, and Hebrew in a fun and interactive environment. Hebrew is introduced through multisensory projects and thoughtfully selected activities.
Fourth-Sixth Grade
Fourth through sixth grade students participate in our Sunday morning Judaic program, building upon foundational Jewish learning and working toward B’nei Mitzvah enabling students to perform essential prayers, develop a generalized understanding of prayer, explore personal meaning and understand how Hebrew is constructed.
Seventh Grade
Seventh grade students gain additional fluency in Jewish prayer, engage in topical conversations about Jewish values in modern contexts, and approach Jewish learning through projects. Seventh grade learning is intended to complement B’nei Mitzvah studies and experiences.
Eighth-Ninth Grade
Our eighth and ninth grade programs invite students to dive deeper, socially and intellectually, into their personal connection to Jewish community. They engage in mature conversation around topics of Jewish history, the Holocaust, Israel, social action and today’s world.
Confirmation
Our Confirmation class explores the layers of the Jewish experience through the Mussar Movement (or applied Jewish ethics). Confirmands take part in a spring retreat where they cultivate strong connections with their peers and experience a memorable Shabbat. Confirmands learn with experienced educators including Temple Sinai clergy, culminating in a spring Confirmation Erev Shabbat service honoring their Jewish journey. The Confirmation Erev Shabbat service for Confirmation Class 5786 (2025-2026) will be held on Friday, May 8, 2026 at 6:00 PM.
Hebrew in Focus
“Hebrew in Focus” offers additional Hebrew instruction outside of our core curriculum, giving students the extra time and support many of them need to reach our Hebrew learning goals. As students begin to engage more deeply with the Hebrew language in preparation for Jewish adulthood and eventual B’nei Mitzvah, this program is designed to give them a strong foundation in reading fluency, prayer comprehension, and confidence in Jewish identity.
We offer both in-person and virtual options for this instruction to accommodate the needs of our diverse families. However, we strongly encourage in-person participation whenever possible, as we believe this setting provides the most effective and engaging learning experience.
Curriculum
ShalomLearning Curriculum
Mishkan Tefilah for Youth
We utilize the ShalomLearning curriculum, a dynamic, values-based curriculum. ShalomLearning helps students see the connections between their daily life and Jewish tradition and wisdom. Blending classroom instruction and family engagement with technology support, the ShalomLearning approach focuses on seven core Jewish values:
- Teshuvah: Taking responsibility for our actions.
- B’tzelem Elohim: Honoring the image of God in ourselves and others.
- Gevurah: Using strength to do what’s right.
- Achrayut: Making the world a better place.
- Hakarat HaTov: Seeking joy and being graceful.
- Koach HaDibbur: The power of words.
- Shalom: Contributing to a more peaceful world.
Our Religious School utilizes a wonderful siddur for Grades 4-7 – Mishkan Tefilah for Youth. We aspire to bring prayer into our students’ lives into a way that it’s meaningful for them. These siddurs make a beautiful gift – Temple Sinai is offering a discounted rate of $25 for each book.
