Youth Education

Shalom and welcome! Thank you for visiting the online home of Kol Emeth Youth Education. We encourage you to contact Rabbi Laurie Matzkin to learn more about our programs, and work together to find your place at Kol Emeth.

Our Youth Education Programs offer small classes led by experienced and devoted teachers. We build a strong sense of community through our many family Shabbat dinners, holiday programs, and school-wide celebrations. Rabbi Matzkin, Rabbi Booth and Rabbi Graff are all closely involved in our youth programs, supporting, encouraging and challenging our students to engage with the Jewish tradition. Our many wonderful teachers, lay leaders and teen Madrichim help round out our engaging and comprehensive Youth Education Programs. The NESS process gave the wider synagogue community the opportunity to help improve our existing programs and envision a wonderful new experiential education model.

Our religious school meets on Tuesday afternoons (3:50-6:15pm) and Saturday mornings (9:15am-12:20pm) with an optional creative program on Thursdays (4:15-6:00pm).  Our Hebrew immersion program for K - 2nd graders continues to meet on both Tuesdays and Thursdays. Students enrolled in local Jewish day schools add their voices on Shabbat mornings in particular.

In the 2011-12 school year, we are changing our school model to a more experiential and hands-on approach, complete with brand-new electives and innovative workshops.  Our focus will shift toward creative explorations of Jewish identity and community.  To have a laugh and learn more about the "new model," click here to watch our first video trailer.
