The Old World term often used to describe a Jewish house of study and worship is shul, the Yiddish word for "school." Similarly, the title Rabbi implies more than a religious leader, it also means "teacher." Temple Beth Ha-Sholom takes its educational role very seriously, offering a variety of classes for interested members of all ages, from preschool ("Torah for Tots") to Adult Education.For youngsters (and some not quite so young) preparing for the Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah ceremony (a coming-of-age ritual typically celebrated at the age of 13, but sometimes observed later in life), Hebrew language training and ritual instruction are offered. As the date of the Bar/Bat Mitzvah rite of passage approaches, private tutoring may be scheduled for those weekends on which our Student Rabbi visits us. A Confirmation class is held for post-Bar/Bat Mitzvah young adults. The Student Rabbi offers Adult Education, Book Discussion, Introduction to Judaism, or other special classes for our members. Our approach is very flexible, seeking to meet the needs of all of our members.
Specific questions about educational opportunities, as well as suggestions and offers of volunteer assistance, should be addressed to our Religious School Committee Chair via email. Those prospective members desiring more information about our Religious School and Hebrew School programs are invited to email to our Membership Coordinator.
