The Harold I. Saperstein Religious and Hebrew School is named for our Rabbi Emeritus who served Temple Emanu-El for 47 years. The school is actually two schools with different goals. Our Hebrew language program is geared to provide a working reading knowledge of the language so that children and adolescents can carry out the responsibilities of Bar/Bat Mitzvah and carry that knowledge into adulthood. The school meets as per the schedule below. The Religious School program was the reason for the founding of Temple Emanu-El in 1920. Our all volunteer faculty, led by Rabbi Glenn Jacob and Principal, Barry Amper, teaches grades K through 6 on Sunday mornings and grades 7 through high school in our unique Tuesday evening program. Steeped in our Reform traditions both programs teach the traditional stories of our faith attempting to instill in our youngest congregants the values that Jews have cherished for thousands of years. Our upper school, meets Tuesday evenings at 6:15 for dinner, followed by a diverse curriculum addressing the issues of our time with focus on the value system we share. The ninth grade program builds to Confirmation which is held each year at Shavuot. Temple Emanu-El is very proud of its faculty and its students. Many of our children have gone on to become Rabbis. Our school is open to visitors. Please drop by the school office during class hours to arrange a visit for you and your child. School hours are:
