Our teachers are selected for their knowledge of Judaism and ability to relate to the students they teach. They are supervised and evaluated throughout the year, and strive to maintain close contact with each student and family. We encourage your sharing with them any special concerns or problems you feel may affect your child's education, and we welcome your involvement with their work. As much as we want to teach the "who, what, and when" of Jewish history, we also strive to convey a strong sense of belonging and the importance of every Jew to the Temple and to Am Yisrael, the People of Israel.
