Religious School

A "Framework of Excellence" Accredited School

VISION STATEMENT

At West End Synagogue Religious School, our students and their families engage in meaningful Jewish learning and living. Students develop a strong Jewish identity, a sense of community, and the skills and knowledge to practice Judaism, all within an environment that inspires students to live a Jewish Life.

MISSION STATEMENT:

It is our goal that:

Our students graduate with positive feelings about their Religious School experience and a strong sense of community.
Our students graduate with a strong foundation of Torah, Hebrew, T’ﬁlah (prayer), and Halacha, based on Conservative* Judaism.
Our students make personal connections to Judaism, the Jewish community and to Israel through the study of our history and the exploration of Jewish rituals and values.
Our faculty develops meaningful relationships with our students and serves as role models for them.
Our faculty uses creative approaches to excite, enrich and engage our students and their families through their participation in experiential learning.

*If “Conservative” is intimidating, just call us!
