PreK-12th Grade Youth and Family Education
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!
