Are you looking for a Jewish learning experience for your family that feels joyful, welcoming, and truly personal?  Come discover the Weiner Religious School (WRS) at Congregation Beth Torah this Summer!  With small class sizes and a warm, inclusive environment, our teachers support all kinds of learners as they explore what it means to live a Jewish life.  At WRS, Judaism comes alive through hands-on learning, creative programs, holiday celebrations, Hebrew games, nature activities, and meaningful mitzvah projects that connect Jewish tradition to the world around us.  With a focus this year on the environment and tikkun olam, our program is built on the backs of justice and kindness.  From our youngest students discovering the wonder of Jewish holidays to our teens exploring identity, justice, and community, WRS helps every child grow in confidence, curiosity, and Jewish pride. 

See the magic for yourself at either of the upcoming WRS Open Houses.  These Open Houses are designed for parents and students.  PreK-5th Graders plan to come from 1-3 p.m.  Parents are welcome to stay the whole time, or return at 2:30 p.m. for a brief meeting about the WRS program.  Please RSVP with the names/ages of students and names of parents attending on Sunday, July 12 and/or August 9 (1-3 p.m.)

Weiner Religious School

Sunday School & TAG

Congregation Beth Torah strives to provide the tools and experiences inherent in living and learning Jewishly in the twenty-first century.

Mission Statement

Built on the bedrock of Torah, the Weiner Religious School provides our children and teens with a foundational framework and knowledge of Jewish liturgy, ritual practice, ethics and tradition. WRS cultivates a warm, nurturing environment for children as they explore what it means to live a Jewish life. We strive to inculcate a strong sense of Jewish identity, pride and community and support WRS families whatever their background or practice.

Vision Statement

Our youngest learners begin their journey in our Sunday School, where they discover the holidays, prayers and mitzvot through experiential learning and meaningful, spiritually focused activities. Each year in the school, they will deep dive into grade-appropriate topics and review previously introduced material to ensure mastery of the information.

As our new b’nei mitzvah graduates from Sunday School enter the Torah, Avodah, G’milut Chasadim (TAG) class, they work on building their personal Jewish identity. They explore  modern ideas and challenging topics as they engage with issues relevant to their lives. As they work toward confirmation, they integrate their own sense of self and their place in the continuity of the Jewish people. They’ll leave WRS prepared to build their Jewish practice, to pursue tikkun olam and to show up for their community.
