Our Mission
At Temple Judea Religious School, our mission is to cultivate a vibrant and engaged community where every child and family feels a deep sense of belonging. We are dedicated to building a strong and meaningful Jewish identity, emphasizing the importance of Jewish knowledge and values, drawing upon the concept that the world stands on three things: Torah, Worship, and Acts of Loving Kindness. Together, we are committed to creating an exceptional Jewish educational experience for our children—one rooted in connection, care, and shared purpose.
An Approach Rooted in Relationships and Spirit
Our vision is to empower our students to:
- Develop a positive sense of self deeply connected to their Jewish heritage and values.
- Cultivate a lifelong love of Jewish learning and Israel, inspired by wonder, curiosity, and intellectual exploration.
- Build skills of empathy and compassion towards themselves, others, and the wider world, embodying Tikkun Olam (Repairing the World).
- Honor their spiritual lives through joyful Jewish rituals, hands-on experiences and acts of Chesed (Kindness).
- Integrate prayer and modern Hebrew, emphasizing both liturgical understanding and contemporary relevance.
Jewish Learning & Values
At Temple Judea Religious School, Jewish tradition is vibrantly embedded in all our educational experiences. From celebrating Shabbat as a community to practicing mitzvot (commandments/good deeds) through celebrating the Jewish holidays, children live their Judaism through meaningful moments of connection, discovery, and learning.
Our curriculum creates opportunities of discovery and reflection on rich Jewish values, offering dynamic opportunities to explore, embrace, and grow. Through experiential learning and the cultivation of meaningful relationships, Jewish values come alive in authentic and inspiring ways, shaping not just what our students know, but who they become with the idea of keeping alive our traditions L’dor V’Dor, from Generation to Generation.
