Kitchen LA.
Adat Shalom’s Jewish Education Center offers a unique, engaging, and joyful religious school experience. Our approach is experiential and highly dynamic, bringing together the best of traditional Jewish education with a program that is both relevant and forward-thinking.
The religious school offers a flexible schedule that includes Wednesday afternoons, Sunday mornings, and a community for the entire family including Friday night dinners, Saturday morning services, Sunday morning learning forums, and more! The program provides a well-rounded education that strengthens our students’ Jewish identity, building character as Jewish citizens of the world. It is a place where children and their families become part of a warm and enthusiastic community, and where Torah and Judaism come alive.
We are now offering the first year of Religious School FREE with membership.
Program highlights include:
- An approach to Jewish learning that emphasizes critical thinking and personal connections
- Meaningful learning opportunities with Rabbi Feivel and Rabbi Lefkowitz
- Joyful Tefillah (prayer) and lively music with Cantor Dale Schatz
- Hebrew instruction geared toward synagogue skills
- Seamless transition to Adat Shalom’s Bar and Bat Mitzvah track, guided personally by Rabbi Feivel
- Hands-on Tikkun Olam projects that teach acts of loving kindness within the Jewish community and with our neighbors in the wider community
- Connection with Israel
