Talmud Torah

The Beth El Talmud Torah is always aiming to find creative, interactive ways to help students learn and grow. Our teachers bring a wealth of experience from their work in Jewish summer camps, schools, and youth groups.

On any given day in the Beth El Talmud Torah, students might be working on photography projects, making films about Jewish history, measuring the dimensions of Noah’s ark, performing plays, cooking traditional Jewish foods, learning Torah Trope from an iPhone app, or building sukkot out of legos.

From September through May, students in our Pre-K, Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade classes meet on Sunday mornings from 9:30 am-12:30 pm. Students in grades 3-6 attend class on Wednesday afternoons from 4:30-6:30 pm in addition to Sunday mornings. Our 7th grade class meets on Sunday mornings. On Sundays, the 7th grade class begins in the 9:30 am minyan.

Talmud Torah and B’nei Mitzvah prep are overseen by our Interim Education and Youth Director, Lynn Anne Cutler. Please contact her with any questions.

“We chose Beth El as our community because we all feel so comfortable here.  Both of our kids are happy here, we all have friends here, our girls (and my wife) love learning here. They love being here and they love helping out and volunteering alongside my wife and me.  They are always excited to walk in the door whether it is for class, services, a youth group event, or basically any other event.  We love watching them lead services from the bimah or come home humming a new prayer they learned. We love that this school finds a way to integrate creative, engaging, exciting ways of teaching Jewish holidays, Hebrew language and prayers, Bible, history, culture and more!”
