It is our goal that each student feel a connection to the synagogue as a central feature of their Jewish lives. By celebrating and observing Jewish holidays both at Temple Bat Yahm and at home, students will be able to maintain Jewish life and tradition. Through teaching Jewish values and ethics, we want our students to understand that all Jews are connected to and responsible for one another, the Jewish community, and the world around them. As our students live these values, they grow to understand the importance of bringing Judaism into every aspect of daily life. At Temple Bat Yahm, religious education will result in a strong, positive Jewish identity.
Children explore the Jewish holidays and Bible stories through music, art, games and drama.
