Youth Learning
Studio @ Sherith Israel's Vision
Like an artist in a studio, all Jews can create their unique expression of Judaism by combining the raw materials of our tradition with what we gather from the world around us. At Studio @ Sherith Israel, this happens in a fun, community-oriented environment in which our students feel a sense of connection and belonging. By learning about the Jewish tradition and having Jewish experiences and friends, we build a foundation for making one’s own Judaism. We emphasize that Judaism can be about repairing the world and using our tradition to enrich our lives. We welcome interfaith families, Jews of color, folks of all sexualities and gender identities, and people with disabilities.
At Studio we inspire a life of Jewish creativity!

Celebrate your child's transition into adulthood with our B. Mitzvah program! Our curriculum is designed to help students embrace their newfound status as full-fledged members of the Jewish community. Through our program, your child will learn the importance of service, leadership and social responsibility, while also honing their Hebrew and prayer skills.

8th-12th grades – Teens @ Studio 
Led by clergy and expert educators, our teen program meets on Friday nights— with select special occasions sprinkled in. At least one Friday a night a month, teens will study with the rabbis in a beit midrash setting (community learning inspired by traditional Jewish study). Other Fridays nights will offer our youth group opportunities to have fun together and build a sense of community and belonging. A schedule of the teen events is available on the Studio Calendar.
