Welcome to Beth Tikvah's Hebrew school!

Our advantageously low teacher-student ratio allows us to offer personal attention from a nurturing staff. Hands on activities are incorporated into the curriculum to make Jewish learning fun and exciting. These might include matzah baking, oil making for Hanukah and musical programs.

Our Framework for Excellence School strives to provide an engaging and meaningful Jewish education for students.

Hol-i-Tot

We are proud that many students begin their Jewish Education at Congregation Beth Tikvah's Preschool or Hol-i-Tot programs. Our preschool program (for four year olds) meets once a month on Sunday mornings at 9:00am and our Hol-i-Tot program (for three year olds and younger) meets four times a year on Sunday mornings at 9:30am

Gan

Gan (Kindergarten) classes meet on Sunday mornings at 9:00am.

Mechinah

The Mechinah classes (First and Second Grade) meet on Sundays from 9:00 AM to 12:15 PM. They are specifically designed to introduce our younger children to the joys of being Jewish. These students learn about the holidays, the Synagogue, Israel, Tzedakah, and introduced to basic Hebrew.

Aleph through Dalet

Aleph (Third Grade) through Dalet (Sixth Grade) classes meet twice a week on Sundays at 9:00am and Wednesdays at 4:15pm. Our older students continue to learn about mitzvot, holidays, Jewish values, Torah and Israel. By the end of their Dalet (sixth grade) year, our students are able to lead many portions of the adult services. As they become more skilled, they assume more responsibility so that by the age of Bar/Bat Mitzvah, they are able to independently lead much of the service on Shabbat. All of our elementary students attend Jr. Congregation as well as enjoy two Shabbatonim a year.

Hey through Het

Hey (Seventh Grade) through Het (Tenth Grade) classes meet twice a week on Sundays at 9:00am and Thursday evenings at 7:00pm. Jewish Law, Jewish Humor, Drama and Holocaust are a few of the electives that our students may choose. Rabbi Gans meets with our Confirmation students weekly and their Confirmation year culminates with an exciting trip to Israel led by the Rabbi.

Individualized attention is available to every student to encourage each child to achieve his/her highest level of performance. Our individual sessions are designed to help students build and enhance basic skills and encourage a positive attitude about their Religious School experience.

Our hope is that you and your child connect with Judaism as you connect with each other during our specially planned activities!

We continually review, improve, and enhance our curriculum and educational offerings to ensure that we meet or exceed our educational goals. Our teachers support children in the development of their individual strengths and encourage Jewish exploration. Family involvement is an important element of our school's program.
