Prospective Families

In jLAB, we believe that learning and relationships go together. We focus on an integrated approach to curriculum that emphasizes building strong ties between educators, learners, families, and the congregation. These relationships are essential to our Jewish lives and the values we hold.

All Temple Beth Sholom member families are welcome to participate in our program, which begins in kindergarten and continues through Confirmation (grade 10). Learners can join at any time, but we strongly encourage them to start in Kindergarten or as early as possible, as Jewish learning is a lifelong journey.

What Makes JLAB Special

jLAB offers a holistic, experiential learning experience. Learners have opportunities to explore Judaism in ways that apply to all aspects of their lives, with guidance from educators who are more than just instructors – they are partners in learning.

Community

We center our curriculum on building relationships, believing that new bonds will emerge between educators, learners, families, and congregants, strengthening the entire community.

Learning

We approach instruction as knowledgeable educators who partner with learners to facilitate ongoing learning.

Holistic Education

We foster the integrated development of each learner’s intellectual, emotional, social, physical, artistic, and creative potential.

Jewish Life

We help learners use the relationships they form to maintain meaningful involvement in Jewish life.
