✽ Our Education Team & Curriculum:

ZJLA educators collaborate as a team to provide meaningful, fun and dynamic hands-on learning for students throughout the school year. The foundations of the ZJLA curriculum are rooted in relationship building, exploring our diverse and multi-cultural Jewish heritage, practicing Jewish values with one another, and resourcing our students with meaningful experiences and tools in order for them to shape their own Jewish identities. A typical ZJLA Sunday includes singing, art making, cooking/baking, creative and gamified Hebrew language and prayer learning, and celebrating Shabbat rituals and seasonal holidays with food, storytelling, theater and earth-based activities.
