At the Barry Ira Graff School of Living Judaism (SLJ) we explore life’s big questions, delve into our rich heritage, make the world around us a better place, build a meaningful Jewish community, and have fun while doing it.
Our Mission
To inspire and educate the next generation of Jewish leaders through meaningful learning, fostering a strong Jewish identity and connection to traditions, and ensuring a lifelong connection to their heritage.
At Congregation B’nai Israel, our Religious School provides a dynamic and engaging Jewish education, fostering a deep connection to Jewish values, traditions, and community. Through interactive learning, hands-on experiences, and meaningful connections, we help students build a strong Jewish identity that lasts a lifetime.
