Congregation Beth El

Registration remains open for the new Jewish Learning Center of Congregation Beth El, serving children from kindergarten through high school and their families.

The overall goal of the Jewish Learning Center is to create a caring, nurturing environment where students can explore and actively participate in Jewish life. Programs will cultivate Jewish identity and literacy through text study, music, art, drama and dance. Students will engage in active, experiential learning that will also have practical application to their lives. Key facets include the choice of 'electives' for grades Gimmel (3rd) and up, innovative Bar/Bat Mitzvah and teen programs, and incorporating mitzvot into the context of study. We will be having in-class tefillah/prayer and God talk lessons. We want our students to be able to articulate their understanding of God, make personal connections to our liturgy and be able to lead prayer. Families will have the opportunity to learn together, through multi-generational learning programs.

The Jewish Learning Center will be at the heart of a comprehensive program of life-long learning at Beth El. Sherri Morris, a graduate of the William Davidson School of Jewish Education at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York, is the Director of Congregational Learning leading this program with Rabbi Francine Roston and Cantor Perry Fine.

Morris was previously a teacher and high school principal at several New Jersey synagogue religious schools. The teaching staff is comprised of highly qualified and experienced educators who bring Judaism to life.

Special new member offer: Enjoy a first-year synagogue membership for $180 when you enroll a child in Beth El's Jewish Learning Center.

The Jewish Learning Center is open to the community, both members and non-members of Congregation Beth El. See link to the registration form. For more information or to hear more about our innovative, dynamic program, please contact Sherri Morris, Director of Congregational Learning, at 973.763.0119 or smorris@bethelnj.org.
