Religious School

Adat Shalom’s Religious School offers an engaging and joyful religious school experience in an intimate, personalized setting. With the warmth of a one-room schoolhouse, our students build friendships across grade levels and receive individualized attention that nurtures their growth, confidence, and connection to Jewish life. We foster a life-long love of Jewish learning.

Our education strengthens our students’ Jewish identity and helps build character as Jewish citizens of the world. We focus on five main areas: Torah, Hebrew, Tefillah (Prayer), Holidays, and Israel. There are numerous opportunities throughout the year for parents to learn and engage alongside their children.

For more information, email Rabbi Karen Isenberg, Religious School Director or the Adat Shalom office, or call 310-475-4985.
