A Community of Learning

Congregation B'nai Yisrael seeks to cultivate a love for and understanding of Judaism, its traditions and culture. To that end we have worked to create a model Religious School for grades one through ten where we teach our children to “To See The World Through Jewish Eyes,” an extraordinary educational curriculum we helped develop for the Reform movement. Pre-schoolers and their parents are invited to participate in the monthly T.O.T program (Teaching Our children Torah) while our young people prepare for Bar and Bat Mitzvah and Confirmation with the help of the Religious School, Rabbis and Cantor, and staff.

The Adult Education Program offerings are increasingly many and varied, including courses in Hebrew reading and Torah study, sessions covering topics such as “What it Means to be Human”, and “Text in the City” classes in New York City.

Because of Rabbi Krantz's wide-ranging associations and activities nationally and internationally, Congregation B'nai Yisrael is particularly fortunate to be able to present important guest speakers and authors delivering exciting and provocative lectures and an inside look at their thoughts.
