Religious School

The primary mission of the Beth Emeth Religious School (RS) is to support the development of Jewish identity, Jewish values, and connection to the Jewish community.  Through a combination of traditional learning and experiential opportunities that balance historical perspectives and modern-day reflections, we deliver well-rounded, accessible and stimulating education for all learners in a flexible environment.  Our school program is built on connection: with classmates, the CBE community, and to Judaism and Jewish identity.
