Welcome
Welcome to the Temple Ner Tamid Religious School! We strive to help students love being Jewish. Our teachers are role models who show our students what it meand to feel special and valued in our community. We believe that children who feel loved at synagogue will grow up to be adults who are drawn to places where Jewish learning and living happen, that they will find joy in the ebb and flow of Jewish holidays, comfort in Jewish spaces when they are in need, and will approach the possibility of raising a Jewish family with intentionality and excitement.

Mission Statement
-
We understand that Religious School is a long term investment in the legacy of your Jewish family. This cannot be measured in charts and tables, or prayers memorized and recited, but rather, in the hearts of our students and in the Jewish life of their families.
-
We aim to use the rich and beautiful history and culture of our people to foster a sense of community and belonging.
-
We strive to raise young Jewish students who are excited to keep learning and who can’t fathom their lives separately from their Jewish identity.
-
We hope to instill an understanding that kindness, patience, grace, and service to others is living Jewishly and that they will lead the next era of synagogue life in America.
-
We work tirelessly to ensure that our school is a safe place for our children, so that when they are in need they will find meaning, hope, trust and love in our holy community.
