We meet on Sunday mornings from 9:00 am -12:00 pm. Our curriculum includes Hebrew, Jewish values, holidays and religious practice. We meet weekly for an all-school group time which could be led by our rabbi, or include music, storytelling, craft projects and Israeli dancing.
Our classes range from kindergarten to Bar/Bat Mitzvah and High School studies for Confirmation. True to our participatory focus, children are given many opportunities to participate in leading worship services. Our Torah school children co-lead our Family Services with our rabbi the first Friday of every month which instills in them experience, confidence, and enthusiam for the rituals and traditions of Jewish worship.
The Jewish sages teach us that “the world stands on three things: Torah/Study, Avodah/Sacred Service and G’milut Chasadim/Acts of Loving kindness” (Avot 1:2). These pursuits provide the framework within which Jews build their relationships with God, with one another, and with the world. These three things serve as the core of the “Chai: Learning for Jewish Life” curriculum we teach at COT developed by the Union for Reform Judaism. This provides students with the foundation for a lifetime of Jewish learning and living.
