Temple israel Youth Learning Programs
2023-2024 YLP Calendar can be viewed here!
Youth Learning Programs at Temple Israel aim to engage students in thoughtful exploration of Jewish faith & culture. Students in grades PreK through 7th grade attend Sundays. Wednesday afternoon sessions are added for grades 3-6 to further explore their Hebrew knowledge. Students take part in the B-Mitzvah process starting in 5th grade with the selection of their Torah Portion/dates, which most often occur in the 7th grade year. Hebrew High meets Wednesday evenings for grades 8-12.
Enrollment for the 2023-2024 school year is still open, but you may need to speak with the Director of Education first, as our learning programs for the year have begun. We have a few exciting changes we've made, so please review this document for all the details before registering. VISIT THIS DOCUMENT TO FIND THE LINK TO ENROLL. :)

We encourage all our families, no matter your grade, to join our B-Mitzvah students to support them as they lead Shabbat services. The best way to learn about this incredible life cycle event is to join the congregation as a participant!
