JEWEL understands that the time we invest identifying ourselves as Jews is precious. Our goal is to make the time in our school your key to this connection with Jewish identity. We offer programs to children in grades K through 7 that are relevant, fun, and promote a better connection to Jewish life through education.  We try to use teaching methods that are active and lessons that are appropriate for children today.
The areas of Jewish Studies that are covered are Holidays and festivals, Jewish values and ethics,  Bible and Torah, Customs and ceremonies and Israel and Jewish history. The goal of the Hebrew curriculum is that the children learn to read and  understand enough Hebrew to allow them to fully participate and feel comfortable in services in synagogue and also prepare for their Bar/Bat mitzvah tutor.
