The Complete Program

The curriculum of the Morris Hassel Religious School is designed according to the educational standards adopted by the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism.

The school provides religious education for:

Kindergarten and First grade on Mondays (4:00 to 6:00 p.m.); Second through Hay class (2nd-7th) on Mondays (4:00 to 6:00 p.m.), Wednesdays (4:00 to 6:00 p.m.), and Shabbat (9:45 a.m.).

Participation in services is the highlight of our Hebrew curriculum. Students in 2nd through Hay classes have the opportunity each week to lead their student congregation in prayer in "Junior Congregation". They experience the honor of carrying the Torah around the chapel. We chant Sheheheyanu to celebrate a child’s first aliyah. An age-appropriate D’var Torah is presented. A sweet Shabbat Shalom treat is enjoyed before joining the others in the main sanctuary.
