About Sinai Religious School
Congregation Sinai’s Religious School offers your family a warm, nurturing environment where your child can thrive and grow.
We strive to give children and families the tools and experiences that will help them to live a Jewish life. We endeavor to impart a love for Judaism and for Eretz Yisrael, engagement with God, and a commitment to mitzvot (commandments/good deeds), gemilut chasadim (acts of loving-kindness), and tikkun olam (making the world a better place). Students learn Hebrew reading skills in an individualized setting to meet their needs.
Once-a-month our Family Learners' service gives students the opportunity to put their learning into real-time practice while celebrating Shabbat with their friends and the entire Sinai community. Specific dates can be found on our religious school schedule of days.

SINAI RELIGIOUS SCHOOL
AT A GLANCE
“Connecting our students to Judaism, each other, Israel, and the world.”
Congregation Sinai believes that all Jewish children should receive a Jewish education beginning in Kindergarten, either at the Sinai Religious School or a full time Jewish day school.
Our religious school program starts with Kindergarten and goes through 7th grade. After religious school, we offer high school programming for students in 8th grade and up. Our creative teachers instruct students with multiple modalities, from text to movement to film to discussions, enabling students to experience the learning first hand.

Membership is required for enrollment in the Sinai Religious School. Families who have not yet joined Congregation Sinai may send their child(ren) in grades K - 3 to the Religious School for one year, after which they are asked to become members of the community.
High school programs do not have a membership requirement.
