RELIGIOUS SCHOOL – GRADES K-6 

Students in grades K-6 meet weekly on Tuesdays from 4:00-6:00 pm.  This once-a-week Religious School is filled with personal attention, learning, and fun.  The curriculum combines aspects of Jewish life and values, culture and history integrating Hebrew language, music and prayer. For grades K-3, the emphasis is on Jewish life, culture and holidays. For grades 4-6, the emphasis is on Israel and Jewish Heroes plus the study of prayerbook Hebrew to foster leadership in worship, leading towards B’nai Mitzvah studies in Grade 7. In addition to individual grade-level classes, all grades join together for worship and song at the end of each school day.

BAR/BAT MITZVAH 

In preparation for becoming Bar or Bat Mitzvah, students meet weekly in a one hour class with Rabbi Axe for the semester prior to the date of their B/Mitzvah. Each student is also tutored privately by Rabbi Axe for approximately 8 months of weekly half-hour sessions. Rabbi Axe works closely with B/Mitzvah families to meet their individual needs.

GRADES 7-12 

For students in grades 7-12, Shir Ami Teens – SATs – join together for educational, social, and community service events with a Jewish spin to foster strong Jewish values in our young adults, as they learn to participate in and contribute to the congregational community as well as the community at large. Our teens play an active role in the social action efforts of Congregation Shir Ami.

All members of SATs are invited to lead services during the Festival of Shavuot in the spring of each year as a reminder of the Giving of the Ten Commandments at Mt. Sinai, and as an opportunity for each new generation of Jewish adults to accept the gift of Torah as their own.
