Jewish Religious School from Toddlers to Bar/Bat Mitzvah Training
Temple Beth Hillel invites all children and their families to join our Sunday School, Beit Midrash Hillel. We take seriously the command to “Teach your children diligently”, with a sense of wonder, art and happy celebration of our holidays, festivals and culture.
| Temple Beth Hillel allows my children to develop a strong Jewish identity, learn about their heritage, and establish friendships in the Jewish community. I am able to participate with the local Jewish community and contribute to the greater Richmond area as a whole.
— Anna S |
The curriculum has been designed to promote continuity year after year, and to keep the kids in touch with various aspects of their Jewish identity.
