Religious School

  The mission of CKA religious school is to impart Jewish identity, values and to engage students in the quest for knowledge and understanding as well as to provide a sense of community and connection.  In doing this Kol Ami provides opportunities for spiritual growth and character development.  We emphasize Jewish thought, customs, liturgy, history, Hebrew language and holidays.  We strive to create a strong sense of community in a warm supportive and enjoyable atmosphere, where students can explore their Jewish identity.

The curriculum is the Chai curriculum

Religious school meets Sunday mornings from 10:00-12:00, September through May.

Hebrew School

The Hebrew school is a comprehensive and interactive program on how to pray in Hebrew.  Students will learn how to read Hebrew fluently and accurately, and have an understanding of key prayers and blessings of Jewish life.  Our program focuses on liturgical Hebrew, so that students may participate with confidence in rituals and prayers.

Hebrew learning begins at the Kindergarten level with songs games and reading readiness activities. Hebrew school meets Thursdays from 4:30-6:30 October-May.

B’nei Mitzvah Program

Kol Ami’s B’nei Mitzvah curriculum emphasizes the structure of Jewish service, prayers and reading of the Torah, as well as the meaning of this time in a young person’s life.  We believe in lifelong Jewish learning and the commitment that is made as a B’nei Mitzvah student. B’nei Mitzvah students commit to a 1 1/2 year program that meets weekly on Thursdays from 4:30-6:30.  The final 6 months of the program are completed with individual tutoring.
