Kehilla School
Classes meet for two hours once a week on Wednesday or Thursday afternoons, 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm. We have small, intimate classes of 8-12 students. Teachers use discussion, drama, and art projects to teach about Jewish religion, culture and history, encouraging the expression of ideas, questions, and feelings. Families are invited to join in monthly Shabbat and Holiday celebrations. Our school meets September through May or early June, for a total of 30 sessions. In order to enter our Bar/Bat Mitzvah Program, students must complete the 5th and 6th grades at Kehilla School.
