Education

Religious School

For the 2025-2026 school year, beginning this fall, we will offer 3 classes for the following age groups: under 5, 6-9, and 10-13. Please contact us if you would like to join in our learning activities!

Regular classes for Bar & Bat Mitzvah are available for the pre-teen children of members, depending on how many children are of age.

 

Adult Education

Once a month, the Student Rabbi leads a study session on a specific Jewish topic of interest. Please check our Calendar for the next Adult Education meeting.

Every year starting in the fall, Brith Sholem offers an 18-session Introduction to Judaism class based on the course developed by the Union for Reform Judaism. Those pursuing conversion at Brith Sholem will be expected to attend all sessions;  members of Brith Sholem are welcome to attend individual sessions of interest. Please contact us to reserve a spot in the class.
