Religious School Mission Statement

The Santa Monica Synagogue’s religious school seeks to immerse each child and family in Jewish life and learning.  Our children’s Jewish identities are deepened and grow ever more meaningful through discussion, study, art, music, and dance; and through their observance of Jewish holidays and life events.   Through their study of Jewish history and their experience of Jewish culture, language, ritual, and text, our children deepen their spiritual life through prayer,  increase their connection with Jews here and throughout the world, and engage in acts of tzedakah (social justice) and tikkun olam (repair of the world).
