CBH's Religious School 

Education at CBH is meaningful, engaging, and fun

At Congregation Beth Hatikvah, we offer a range of programs that help children of all ages build a lasting connection to Jewish life. From early childhood experiences to meaningful pre-teen and teen education, there’s something here for every family.

Tot Shabbat

Ages 0–5, siblings welcome!

Tot Shabbat is a spirited and song-filled introduction to Shabbat for our youngest community members. Designed for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers, this early evening program includes songs, stories, crafts, and playtime—plus challah and grape juice as we say the Shabbat blessings together. Afterward, families enjoy a pizza dinner and time to schmooze and make new friends.

This program is free for members. Non-members are warmly welcome, with a small suggested donation.

Five Senses of Judaism

Age 5 and under

This interactive series invites children and their families to experience Jewish holidays in a fun, sensory-rich way. Each of the five sessions explores a different celebration—Shabbat, Hanukkah, Tu B’Shevat, Purim, and Passover—through taste, touch, smell, sound, and sight.

Following the program, there is a family service designed to be interactive and engaging for children of all ages, followed by a Shabbat Oneg with challah, juice, and snacks.

This program is free and open to both members and non-members. Feel free to bring a friend along and share the experience

Teen Program

8th Grade

This new program invites Religious School graduates to stay connected through meaningful, teen-centered Jewish experiences. Students focus on community service, field trips, and exploring how Jewish values can guide their lives. Through hands-on projects and shared experiences, they engage with Tikkun Olam (repairing the world) in ways that resonate beyond the classroom. It’s a chance to continue the friendships they’ve built during their Religious School journey—and to keep learning, questioning, and growing as Jewish teens beyond their B’nai Mitzvah.

Family and Community Events

Jewish life at CBH thrives through shared celebration and connection. Our calendar is filled with opportunities for families to gather, enjoy each other’s company, and build lasting traditions, including:

• Pizza in the Hut (Sukkot)
• Menorah Palooza
• Friday night family services co-led by Religious School students

These events are perfect for families—always fun and engaging for children of all ages—and offer a meaningful way for them to experience Jewish life, build memories, and celebrate traditions together with you.
