We at University Synagogue believe that the purpose of Religious School is:

To instill a sense of pride in a child?s Jewish heritage and an appreciation of the beauty of Jewish tradition as guided by the principles of Reform Judaism.

To teach Judaism and Jewish living for the next generation and develop an understanding of where each individual fits into the community.

To teach the how and why of Judaism in order to create a positive Jewish identity that makes for a long-lasting and meaningful connection to Judaism.
