Ner Tamid has a very unique approach to Religious School - The Ner Tamid Judaic Studies Program. The program is designed with the premise and understanding that every child is precious. Further, the future of Judaism rests on how our children feel about their Judaism and how they understand its roots and traditions. This program is committed to preparing them for their role and future responsibilities.

Ner Tamid’s Judaic Studies Program is designed to be a program where learning is fun, where children develop tools for Jewish living in today’s world and where children want to come to class. This is a program aimed at educating tomorrow’s Jewish leaders and it follows a unique approach.

As part of the program, parents will be invited to learn along side their children in a parallel Adult Education Program that will meet on Sundays while the K-8 classes are in session.

The innovative K-8 curriculum has seven tracks: Hebrew, liturgy, life rhythm, life cycle, scriptures, art and history and it incorporates field trips, student conducted mitzvah projects and other activities. The program will start in August of 2006 and be conducted through the school year. Our teachers are excited about the program are looking forward to teaching this innovative approach. This is not your parent’s Hebrew School!

Pre-registration is open now through July 31 ($50). After August 1, the registration fee will be $100. Please call Jeff Fogel @ 490-2484 for more information or to register for the 5769 (2008-2009) school year. If you are interested in teaching in our Program, please contact Jeff.
