The Religious School at Oheb Shalom serves over 475 children from pre-school through high school. Our students learn about their Jewish heritage, holiday celebrations and practices, ethics, values, Torah and Israel. Classroom study is further enhanced with music, art and the resources of our school library. Accommodations are made for children with special needs. Students from kindergarten through 10th grade attend classes Sunday mornings.
Confirmation is celebrated on Shavuot by tenth graders who have fulfilled established requirements.
Students in grades 11 and 12 meet Sunday mornings to share ideas, serve as teacher aides and reinforce their Jewish education. Recognizing that time in religious school is limited, we encourage attendance at Family Shabbat services, High Holy Day services and special events. Parental involvement plays an integral part in the education of our children. Roberta C. Orman, Director of Education, was honored as Outstanding Educator of the Year by the Council of Jewish Education. As our school principal and curriculum coordinator, Mrs. Orman understands the importance of capturing the sophisticated imaginations of our young 21st century citizens while imparting the values and traditions of a long and unique history.
