Educational Philosophy

The Talmud states that the world stands on three things; Torah (study), Avoda (worship) and G’milut Chasadim (acts of loving kindness). These are the three pillars of our approach to Jewish education. ATJC religious school is the beginning of your child’s lifelong journey of Jewish learning. Our creative and exciting program inspires our students to connect with and develop their Jewish identity. Our students are part of a community of Jewish learners that will grow up together to discover traditions, core values and celebrate Jewish life. We inspire our students to ask questions about Judaism and seek answers continually as they grow.
