At Kehillat Israel, we welcome diversity and embrace all families that are committed to raising Jewish children. As educators we recognize that each child is an individual with a unique set of strengths and interests. Children thrive in our open, creative, welcoming, and nurturing environment. Torah, prayer, Jewish living skills, celebrations, arts, history, culture, ethics, values and Hebrew are all part of the program. By offering our students a wide range of experiences in which to encounter their Jewish heritage, we hope to empower them to find their niche in the fabric of Jewish life.
The Jewish Experience Center is a place of joy, filled with bustling activity and energetic teachers and leaders who inspire Jewish identity and deliver content creatively. A few examples: a group of students write, choreograph and perform their own original song telling the story of Hanukah. Teams of students compete in an "Iron Chef Haroset," their unique and tasty creations judged by our rabbis. Kindergarten children learn their colors in Hebrew by mixing paint. Third graders make cookie dough Hebrew letters and eat them for snack. Middle and high school students travel to New Orleans where they help rebuild the Ninth Ward, and high school students meet weekly in the youth lounge for socializing with Jewish content.
As a community it is our responsibility and mission to inspire our children to become lifelong Jewish learners. We have a variety of compelling programs and experiences designed to help children and youth explore and deepen their Jewish identity at every age. Take a look at the many things we have to offer.
