Posner JEM Religious School

Learning, Living, Loving...Jewishly

We are not just a Religious School...
We offer an intentional collection of Jewish experiences that focus on three essential components needed to build a well-rounded, well-informed, socially conscience, and enthusiastic Reform Jew. We provide our students with the ability to learn, love, and live Jewishly through educational, social, and family-based experiences. By nurturing their minds, hearts, and spirit, we ensure that their Jewish identity and confidence build them into our future Jewish leaders and role models.

Learning Jewishly

Our formal learning program engages our students with dynamic and joyful experiences that teach Jewish concepts, heritage, and traditions through a Reform Jewish lens. Students engage in age-appropriate language, tools, and activities to ensure their Jewish knowledge matures through the years. Read details on Pre-K to Grade 12 study

Living Jewishly — Engaging Parents and Families

Parent involvement is an essential component needed to pass on our Jewish culture and traditions through the generations. We offer several different opportunities for our families to engage together Jewishly. Whether your family comes to pray, learn, eat or celebrate, we provide meaningful moments and experiences to enhance your family's Jewishness.  Read more about our engaging parent/family programs.

Loving Jewishly — Building Identity Through Social Engagement

Our students regularly engage in fun and meaningful peer-based experiences. Our Youth and Teen Engagement Specialist provides social engagement opportunities for our children that provide regular interaction and socialization with their Jewish peers. Each age group gets special attention, and through unique experiences, they will create meaningful memories to help them build Jewish identities and friendships.  Read more.

2021 Consecration 

On Friday, December 3, Posner JEM Religious School Consecrant families were invited to drive by the front of our temple for a special private and Covid-safe ceremony honoring our newest learners. 

Rabbi Sabath, Cantor Fox and Nina Pachino helped us all kvell over the students at this special experience. 

Much appreciation to Michael Pachino for making this wonderful video for all to enjoy.
