Vision Statement-
Religious education at Community Synagogue inspires a life of Jewish living and learning. We will engage a community of learners through the study of Judaism and Jewish values and transform that instruction into practice.

Realization of this vision relies upon:

Parents, children and non-parent members participating together
Teaching led by professional staff, integrating enthusiastic volunteer congregants (parents, non-parents, older students) as a trained team
Programming incorporated into the greater synagogue community so that learners become part of our community
Treasuring Shabbat as our day for learning and community building
Flexibility in settings and times

Religious School Mission 

 The mission of The Rabbi Robert A. Rothman Center For Jewish Learning of Community Synagogue, is to provide an enriching Jewish education that inspires our students to engage in lifelong Jewish learning and to embrace Jewish values and traditions. In strong partnership with the family, we strive to foster a love and respect for our people and our heritage, to make Hebrew and Torah study spiritually meaningful, to create a deep connection to Israel and to encourage acts of Tzedakah and Tikkun Olam (repair of the world.)

Religious Education: A Partnership

Our school will be most effective when the school, Congregation and each individual family work together to educate our children. Our curriculum is always being evaluated and improved so that our students can be assured of a quality Jewish education. Each family can do their part too. If families make Synagogue and being Jewish an important priority, the message will be transmitted to your child and the result will be a positive attitude toward religious study.

Some suggestions to accomplish this are:
  o  Attend the monthly family Shabbat worship service and
holiday celebrations with your children. 
  o  Attend family education workshops. 
  o  Observe Shabbat and other Jewish holidays and festivals at home. 
  o  Reinforce the lessons taught at Religious School as you do
for your children’s secular lessons. 
  o  Make religious education an important priority.

Join with us and your children and we will indeed have a superior Religious School.
