Welcome to Temple Israel Religious School!
Temple Israel Religious School offers our congregants of all ages a premiere lifelong Jewish learning experience. Our mission is to nurture Jewish identity and values through lifelong learning.
Our Religious School (K-7) takes place on Sunday mornings from 9:00 to 11:30 AM. We are temporarily located at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Columbus (1125 College Ave.) while Temple Israel renovates its new permanent home at 3100 East Broad.
Children in grades 3-6 also participate in a weekday Hebrew School component. Hebrew School is held on Tuesdays from 4:00-6:00 PM at two convenient locations: Congregation Agudas Achim in Bexley and in New Albany.
Students in 8th through 12th grades attend class from 11:30 to 12:30 on Sunday mornings. They also have leadership opportunities through our Madrichim Program, which allows teens to help younger students and teachers in the classroom during Religious School.

Can you help?

One Saturday a month the teens of Temple Israel will have the opportunity to serve the Hilltop Community Worship Center by helping serve meals to the community and congregation, spending time with kids in the community that come in to eat, reading, coloring, and other crafts, or helping to organize the pantry.
Even if you are already involved in other service opportunities, serving at the Hilltop Community Worship Center is special (and of course you will earn service hours for school).

Sponsor a Lesson in Memory of a Loved One
Click here to sponsor a lesson!
The Religious School is offering the opportunity for congregants to honor a loved one who has passed away, by dedicating a lesson in the Religious School classroom in the loved one's memory. For a donation of $36 (Chai x 2), you can choose a lesson (Torah learning, Holiday, Israel, Jewish Value), and the grade in which the teacher will dedicate the lesson. The dedication will also be announced at our all school Tefillah Assembly, be mentioned with a picture in our weekly school email (Beit Sefer Shelanu), as well as in the monthly TIKUN.
