Religious School, Youth Programs

Netivot Shalom was founded with a strong emphasis on continuing adult Jewish learning. That has remained a dominant theme in all our activities as a Jewish community. The mission of the Adult Ed Committee is to enable every adult member of the congregation to make Jewish learning a continuing, ongoing part of her or his life, deepening our knowledge, our connection to and our appreciation of all that Judaism holds.

Amitim (B'nai Mitzvah Program) is the Netivot Shalom journey for children leading up to their Bnot/Bnei Mitzvah.

Each student is encouraged to find a teacher for practicing Torah and Haftorah trope, and for creating their Drasha outside of class meeting times. Class meeting times: Tuesday 4:00pm - 6:30pm.
