Main Line Reform Temple’s Religious School is an innovative and progressive, hands-on program designed to develop positive, Jewish identities and build core Jewish competencies for our students and families.
The Religious School program begins in kindergarten and runs through high school, and includes many opportunities for parents and children to learn and do mitzvah projects together. Our curriculum teaches students the skills to participate in Reform worship services and find meaning in prayer, to become familiar with the Jewish holidays and major sources of Jewish beliefs, traditions, and practices, and find their relevance in everyday life.
Our goal is to help children and their families live meaningful Jewish lives at home, at MLRT, and in the community.
Highlights of our program:
- Integrated social action projects for students and families
- Flexible scheduling options to meet family needs (choice of days of the week and in-person, hybrid, or remote)
- Energizing assemblies, holiday celebrations, and singing with Ross M. Levy, Director of Youth Engagement
- Small Hebrew classes for optimal learning
- Hands-on learning focused on Jewish values
- Tailored curriculum for students with varied abilities led by learning specialists
