Sinai School

Welcome to Sinai School!

Sinai School is where Jewish learning comes alive for the youngest members of our Temple Sinai community! From Kindergarten through 7th grade, our Sunday mornings are filled with joyful discovery, hands-on experiences, and the building blocks of a meaningful Jewish life.

Sinai School Classroom

Each week, kids dive into the richness of Jewish tradition—learning about holidays, Hebrew, Torah, mitzvot, history, and more. But we don’t just learn about Judaism—we live it, celebrate it, and grow proud of who we are. With songs, stories, projects, and school-wide T’filah (prayer time)—parents encouraged to join in—we create lasting memories and a strong sense of connection.

We believe Jewish education is a community effort. The Torah teaches that it’s not only up to parents to teach their children, but the whole community (see Deut. 6:7 & 11:19)—and at Sinai School, we take that to heart. We’re here to help raise the next generation of Jewish leaders, thinkers, and mensches.

Class Groups & Activities

Students are grouped by grade level and past experience. Each session includes time for class learning, community prayer, and interactive activities that bring Jewish values to life in fun, meaningful ways.
