WELCOME TO EDUCATION AT TBA
From our youngest babies attending the Simchat Shabbat with their families to our grade 12 graduates, our children and families find their second home at Temple Beth Avodah. Our Temple is a gather place for connecting with each other, exploring Jewish identity, learning about Judaism, caring for our world, and discovering the richness of Jewish experience. We value our ability to create small groups to meet in person and have implemented health and safety protocols. We will meet in person when able based on the health and safety recommendations from the state.
Throughout our programs, we utilize interactive learning tools and a holistic approach, focus on social and emotional growth, and incorporate the family and community in the educational process. We welcome you to stop by, call or email us to learn more about our personal approach to Jewish learning and youth engagement.
