Community Religious School

The Community Religious School is excited to open doors for the 2024–2025 school year! This year focuses on enriched academics through varied student electives taught by Rabbi Alex Lazarus-Klein, Rabbi Gutmann and Rabbi Sara Rich, along with our exceptional staff.

Hebrew 1:1 Will continue to be taught from first through seventh grade remotely at the convenience of our religious school families and teachers.

Special holiday celebrations along with grade specific family programs will enable our parents to get to know each other and form stronger bonds. Parents have been our strongest partners with their participation in the parent council as well as the education committee.

CRS is an inclusive pluralistic Community Religious School that inspires Jewish identity, literacy, and values. Our Rabbis, educators and teen role models foster an environment where leadership, lifelong friendships and family connections thrive.  The Community Religious School serves the students of Temple Beth Tzedek, Temple Beth Zion, Congregation Shir Shalom and unaffiliated families.  One community, one community school.  CRS provides engaging curriculum which includes Holidays, Israel, Torah, Ethics/Values, Life cycle, History, Food/Cooking, Art and Music.
