Studio @ Sherith Israel builds students' Hebrew skills, familiarity with Jewish practice and ideas, and social-emotional capabilities through fun projects and multi-sensory activities. We take a playful, student-centered approach to teaching, encouraging students to ask questions, express themselves authentically, and help shape their own learning.

Join our Hebrew learner community as we dive into decoding the language behind the prayers & blessings of the Siddur. Learn essential vocabulary and Hebrew grammar basics to better understand and explore new meanings behind our ancient texts.

Learn about the state of the congregation, elect new members of the board of trustees and Hills of Eternity board, and welcome new officers.

Walk-ins are welcome to tour the historic landmark sanctuary and temple house. Contact tours@sherithisrael.org for more info or to schedule another time. Please note: There will be no tour on June 12th

Participants learn to read and pronounce the letters of the Hebrew alef-bet, as well as gain familiarity with the prayerbook, basic blessings and core parts of the liturgy. No prior knowledge required. Taught by Fred Nervo.

Join us in exploring Pirkei Avot (literally, Chapters of the Fathers), an ancient text that offers timeless ethical and spiritual guidance.
