One of our basic goals is the transmission of Jewish values and heritage through education at all levels. Our schools and learning opportunities strive to increase knowledge, observance and a love for Conservative Judaism.

The Preschool Place

The Preschool Place and Kindergarten offers a nonsectarian, half day through extended care program for children 2 through 5 years.

The Mazel Tots and Heritage Street enrichment programs presents Jewish culture for two, three, and four year olds, and emphasizes Shabbat and holiday celebrations.

Family focus programs give preschoolers a hands-on, Jewish celebratory experience.

Mazel Tots 2s

On the road to Heritage Street...  Your children will feel the spirit of Judaism.  The children will play with puzzles and toys that have a Jewish theme, sing, dance, hear stories and  do age appropriate crafts.   Eating challah with lunch while celebrating Shabbat is always a treat!

Heritage Street 3s

Let your child experience the joys of Judaism the best way - in our jam-packed immersion program. Our Heritage Street class is bursting with activities to engage your child in Jewish Learning.  They will learn Hebrew vocabulary, Shabbat, Bible Stories, Holidays and more, through songs, dance, cooking, crafts, dramatics and of course - fun!

Heritage Street 4s

This is another opportunity for your child to celebrate The Joys of Being Jewish!  Heritage Street for the fours expands on the program offered for the threes, and teaches new Bible Stories, more Hebrew- including the colors, days of the week, and even the weather.  Of course, we celebrate Shabbat each week!  We have visits from the Rabbi, learn to do Mitzvot, and enhance our connection with Israel too!  Let your child experience the Heritage Street difference- It's Jewish Education at its Best!

Jewish Family Matters

This unique program provides opportunities for families to learn and celebrate Jewish activities together.

There are always fun things to do in our safe, developmentally appropriate and stimulating environment. All teachers are certified and our school is licensed by the state of new jersey and accredited by the national association for the education of young children.

Details of upcoming Jewish Family Matters programs can be found here.

Hebrew School

The goal of our Religious School is to deepen Jewish experience and knowledge, strengthen commitment to God, promote love of Torah and involvement in the Temple, encourage identification with Israel and the Jewish people and participation in Jewish life and ritual. We wish to constantly reinforce the students' desire to live as Jews and to be concerned participants in the Jewish community at large.

It is our goal to encourage students to pursue justice, freedom and peace through Tzedek (righteousness), Mishpat (justice) and Chesed (loving deeds); Jews who esteem their own person and the person of others, their own community and the community of others.

It is also our aim that every student should understand the history of the Jewish people, the basic concepts that unify Judaism and the various trends within it to the end that each student will willingly choose to be a part of this history, and a bearer of Jewish tradition.
 

Hebrew High

Hebrew High School prepares 8th through 12th grades for their roles as adult members of the Jewish community. Courses include Zionism, Jewish life cycle, prophets and values, Jewish law, modern Hebrew, Kabbalah as well as community service projects. The school's professional faculty is intellectually and emotionally responsive to the needs of its students. We believe that our Hebrew high school students are truly "Bonay shalom", builders of peace and the future of Judaism.
