Shomrei Torah Religious School is a warm, lively place where children from Kindergarten through Grade 7 explore the many facets of Judaism and experience the beauty and richness of their heritage. Our curriculum, while rooted in Jewish tradition, is fun and innovative. We strive to create a community within each class and in the school as a whole.

During a typical afternoon session, you will find students involved in a variety of meaningful and engaging activities. Students practice Hebrew, read and learn traditional prayers, and listen to and act out Bible stories. They discuss Jewish current events, ethical dilemmas, and core Jewish values. Students plan a service project or make gifts for community elders, or rehearse a skit or musical production for a holiday celebration. They study with Rabbi George, talk about God and personal prayer, cook something delicious, make a beautiful ritual object, or work on articles and drawings for a school newsletter. Students check out books and tapes from the children's library, participate in Israeli folk dancing, play basketball or jump rope together, then perhaps lead a Shabbat service or Havdalah ceremony.

Our team of teachers includes native Hebrew speakers and specialists in the creative arts. Our teachers share a love of Judaism and commitment to providing wide-ranging learning opportunities for all students.

School meets on Saturday afternoons (Kindergarten through Grade 6) and Wednesday afternoons (Grades 4 through 6) from September through May.

Grade 7 meets two Mondays per month. Most 7th Graders are also in Bar/Bat Mitzvah preparation which runs on Wednesday afternoons year-round.

We welcome parent participation as we continue to develop our program. Feel free to contact our Program Director at 707-576-3452 or e-mail us at .
