...and the study of Mitzvot is greater than them all because it leads to them all.
Talmud, Shabbat 127a

Congregation Beth El Religious School

Mission Statement
It is the mission of the Beth El Religious School to inspire a thirst for lifelong Jewish learning. Educational experiences are crafted to foster an understanding of God, the ability to personalize the words of Torah, and comfort with tefillah (prayer). We strive to develop in our students an awareness of the Jewish people's ongoing connection to the land of Israel. We emphasize the practice of gemilut hasadim (deeds of loving kindness) as the outgrowth of all they have learned regarding God, Torah, tefillah, and Israel. Appreciating Conservative Judaism as a vehicle for spiritual fulfillment, our students will grow to become responsible, literate young adults contributing to the future of the Jewish people.

Be among the disciples of Aaron:

Love peace and pursue peace;

Love all fellow creatures,

And bring them near to the Torah.

--Hillel
