WELCOME TO EDUCATION AT TBA
Walk through the doors of Temple Beth Avodah and you’ll find children and teens in every corner learning, laughing, praying, and experiencing together. For our youth, TBA is a second home, one in which they feel comfortable exploring their identity in a Jewish context with nurturing and supportive adults to guide them. From discussing current events to learning a new melody for a prayer to cooking an Israeli dish, our students engage with Judaism in a variety of ways. We know and understand each child as an individual and meet them where they are. We see ourselves as partners with parents in providing a nurturing and safe environment for exploration. Our holistic approach focuses on social, emotional, spiritual, and intellectual growth. We invite you to join us and see if our program is a good fit for you and your family.
In addition to the weekly programs, we also offer a variety of enrichment opportunities for all ages:
-
BAYGL (our youth group for grades 3-12)
-
Shir Joy (grades 1-6 choir) and Shir Harmony (grades 7-adult choir)
-
Family Shabbat services and dinners
-
Family and parent programs by age and stage
