Congregation Hesed Shel Emet Information

At Congregation Hesed Shel Emet, we believe it is the responsibility of everyone in our Jewish community to educate our children in our traditions. That is why we are proud to offer FREE TUITION to children of our full members in good-standing. Religious education start should start at birth and be nurtured and fostered by the family in the home. Our formal education begins at Kindergarten with Sunday school each week from 9:00 AM until 12:00 PM (noon). Our formal Religious School education begins in Kindergarten with weekly Sunday classes from 9:00 AM until 12:00 PM (noon). At grade 3, we add Hebrew and the curriculum expands with classes on Tuesday afternoons from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM. Our education program includes specialized tutorials for the Bar/Bat Mitzvah student. There is no fee or charge for the tutoring or the religious ceremony for members in good standing. During the religious school year, students will enjoy a variety of fun, holiday-based events, such as our "mock" Passover Seder, a (Hanukkah) party (and gifts!) and the kids' favorite - Purim play and carnival. We have an active music program to assist in learning prayers and traditional melodies. We offer a Family Service on the first Friday of each month, with an earlier start time of 7:00 PM, and encourage the children to participate in the service. We are proud that our children are comfortable and eager to be on the Bimah!
