Education

Our Religious School goals:

As a Congregational Family, we strive

  • To help our children see themselves as individual reflections of God's Image, 

  • To provide the skill level to comfortably function in Jewish settings,

  • To instill the desire to make the world a better place through the practice of Jewish rituals and values, and

  • To develop within the students a strong identity with their Heritage, a commitment to Conservative Judaism and a sense of belonging with CONGREGATION BETH AM.

The foundation of our program is our hope that our children look upon Judaism not as something to be inherited, but rather as something to be discovered.  We hope to offer the inspiration that will take what is learned as a child at CBA and let it grow and deepen in the years and generations to come.
