Jewish Learning Center

Philosophy

We are a participatory, multi-generational, mutually supportive Jewish learning community, dedicated to:

• exploring our spiritual and cultural connections with Judaism’s rich heritage
• performing acts of tikkun olam
• providing an intellectually stimulating, multi-sensory, and joyful learning environment

We are committed to making Sunday school and Hebrew school inspirational experiences for our children. The key is connection: connecting the students’ Jewish learning to real things in their own lives; connecting older and younger children through whole-school learning, fairs and mini-classes; and connecting the JLC families with each other, the greater community, and the natural world through Tikkun Olam (community service) projects, active participation in holiday events and Shabboses, and the presence of so many active parents as teachers, planners and learners. At the center of all this connection is the Jewish wisdom of the Sh’ma, that we are One (Echad), a connected whole.
