Learning. Actualizing. Belonging.
Jewish Learning LAB
Jewish Learning LAB
TK-8
Experiment with Jewish life at the LAB.
LAB stands for Learning, Actualizing, & Belonging and reminds us of our three main goals: engaging our brains and hearts in Jewish study, putting what we learn into action, and connecting with each other in a caring and inclusive environment.
​
TK-8th grade learners focus on a central theme intended to enrich their Jewish experience and bring meaning to their daily lives. Our day includes text study, music, dance, t'filah, and hands-on projects.
​
3rd-7th grade students also connect with the language of our people, Hebrew, through a unique approach including
Hebrew Through Movement, small group study, and exploration of Jewish prayer.
​
Learners of all ages are encouraged to participate in retreats, holiday celebrations, special Shabbat services,
and other congregational events.
Kabbalat Torah
& Sababa
for High Schoolers
Our high school programs include the study of ethics, values, social justice, and peoplehood.
High Schoolers participate in our
Kabbalat Torah (formerly Confirmation) program which includes weekly study with the Rabbi and participation in the
Religious Action Center's L'Taken program.
Due to class size, Kabbalat Torah may not be offered every year. In "off" years, high schoolers are welcome to join Sababa. Sababa meets weekly and offers opportunities to engage with our Rabbi and Educator to dive deeper into Jewish thought, discuss current events, explore "Jewish Adulting" and enjoy a variety of experiences including "Rabbi's Restaurant," "Nothing Sacred: Ask Anything You Want!" and a Jewish Heritage weekend in Los Angeles.
Jewish Learning LAB
for Adults
Exploring Jewish life through a shared learning experience is a great way to connect with others and to enrich your personal Jewish journey. Each year a variety of courses are offered including text study, preparation for conversion, Israeli dancing, choir, Hebrew and more.
