Religious School
Welcome to the Koven Religious School
At the Koven Religious School, students K-12 journey on a path toward learning and bringing Torah into their lives.
We help children discover their spirituality, learn to live the rhythms of Jewish life, discover themselves as members of the Jewish people, and become anshe chesed — people of kindness.
Students study Jewish values, history, identity, and Hebrew language, and they learn about Israel. Lessons are enhanced with music, art, and elements of theater, and holidays are celebrated experientially.
If you shopping for a Hebrew School for your child(ren), we would love to give you a tour of our program! Please e-mail our Director of Education, David Schwartz, at dschwartz@wsthz.org.
Our goals:
- To inculcate Jewish values and identity and develop Jewish community for our students
- To provide skills and knowledge for celebrating Jewish holidays, Shabbat, and lifecycle events
- To develop comfort with reading and speaking Hebrew
- To instill love of the people, land and State of Israel, while recognizing its complexities
- To help students see themselves in the Jewish story, from Abraham to today
- To ground social action in Jewish tradition
- To develop confidence leading or participating in prayers. We want students to be comfortable walking into any synagogue in the world
- To show how Judaism can add meaning to our students’ lives and help them be their best selves, all while enjoying a fun and engaging learning environment
