Shalom!

We are delighted that you are considering Congregation Sinai’s Religious School for your child’s Judaic education.

Our program offers your family a warm, nurturing environment where your child can thrive and grow:
We have a project based curriculum to engage students at all levels and interests. Students learn  Hebrew reading skills in an individualized setting to meet their needs.

We strive to give children and families the tools and experiences that will help them to live a Jewish life. We endeavor to impart a love for Judaism and for Eretz Yisrael, engagement with God, and a commitment to mitzvot (good deeds) and tikkun olam (making the world a better place).

Shabbat is central to Judaism. We have children’s services once a month, November through May. Shabbat Lamishpacha (Shabbat for Families) includes Torah for tots for our pre-K children and their parents, Jr. Congregation for Kindergarten through fifth grades, and Participation Shabbat for sixth grade students.

At Congregation Sinai, we form a partnership between parents, students, and the Religious School. We look forward to embarking on this journey together.

Enclosed, please find the Registration Form as well as the Fee Schedule Form. If you have any
questions, please feel free to contact me.

B'Shalom,

Katherine Mueller
