       The Ruth and Lewis Davis Religious School provides a unique Jewish educational experience in a professional, caring, fun, and community-focused atmosphere.  Our small learning environment enables us to offer differentiated instruction and the flexibility to meet your children where they are in their Jewish journey. 

Our goal is to prepare our students to lead Jewish lives as mensches.

All students in 3rd Grade - 12th Grade who are enrolled in our religious school are automatically part of USY.

Religious School classes are Sunday mornings, in-person, from 9:30 AM - 12:00 PM and Tuesday afternoons, in-person, from 5 - 6:30 PM.

Junior Congregation will meet monthly with Cantor Hadash. 

This year, our students will become Israeli Tzofim/Scouts. Through experiential and project-based learning, students will earn badges in Holidays, Israel, Prayer, Torah, Tzedakah, Hebrew, Life Cycle, Tikkun Olam, and more! They will incorporate Hebrew vocabulary into their lessons as well as study Parshat HaShavua. 

Hebrew for 3^rd-7^th Grade: Our curriculum focuses on T’fila and prepares students to lead Shabbat services.  In addition to classroom Hebrew instruction on Sunday and Tuesday, students receive 30 minutes of individualized or group Hebrew Prayer reading instruction weekly.  Students begin to learn the Alef-Bet and reading concepts in 3^rd grade and then work at their own pace to learn prayers.  Each year builds upon the previous year.  In addition, students learn basic Hebrew vocabulary and language.
