What We Do
To live fully as a Jew requires knowledge of our history, tradition and observance. Just as important is a secure emotional bond to our religion, our people, our heritage. The educational programs at Temple Adas Shalom integrate experience and knowledge, nourishing both heart and mind.
Education is Temple Adas Shalom’s foremost commitment and is demonstrated by providing a quality Jewish education to our Jewish youth. We host a faculty of committed Jewish educators chosen for their ability to inspire students with a love of Judaism, while imparting skills necessary to become active and knowledgeable Jews. Temple Adas Shalom embodies Reform Judaism’s commitment to strengthen the fabric of Jewish life and ensure the future of Judaism and the Jewish people by offering a curriculum that is both age-appropriate and pedagogically sound.
