Temple Israel Religious School
Temple
Israel provides formal Jewish education for children ages four through thirteen
and is affiliated with both the Bergen County High School of Jewish Studies and
Prozdor – the supplemental high school of the Jewish Theological Seminary.
The course of study offered at Temple Israel provides our students with
academic and experiential knowledge of Jewish tradition, culture, prayer,
history and Torah.

The pre-school program for children ages four to six meets for eight 90-minute sessions over the course of the year. It is open to the children of both members and non-members. The Sunday program for Kindergarten, First Grade and Second Grade is also open to members' and non-members' children and meets for 90-minutes on Sunday mornings.
Kitah Alef-Kitah Hey (Third-Seventh Grades)
The five-year Religious School program (Third through Seventh Grade) is open to the children of Temple Israel members only. For the first three years of Religious School, children attend three days a week for a total of 5 ½ hours.
