Experiential, values-driven school for infants through high school students, and their families
Registration for Kesher 2024/2025 is now open!
Returning students will receive an email link to update registration; new students can fill out registration online:
Our goals are to:
- Help students and families discover the ways Judaism is relevant to their own lives.
- Build a solid foundation of Jewish knowledge, and experiences with that knowledge, to develop a strong and positive Jewish identity.
- Instill Jewish values in a way that students can apply them to their contemporary lives.
- Engage entire families in their Jewish journey.
- Create a Kehila Kedoshah – a holy community whose culture celebrates each person’s unique Jewish expression and contributions.
- Inspire our community to add richness and meaning to their lives by passing on the wisdom and tools our Jewish heritage offers us.
- Prepare our students to be confident prayer leaders and teachers of Torah for their b’nei mitzvah service.
Our doors are always open and you are always welcome. ! ברוכים הבאים
— Co-Directors Leah Bordman and Victoria Mayers
