Religious School

Welcome to the 5782/2021-22 Temple Emanuel Religious School year. Our staff is very excited about the upcoming year. We are currently operating in-person classes as of August, 2021. The safety of our students and staff will always be our top priority. Religious School follows all recommendations of the Temple Emanuel Covid-19 Recovery Task Force. We ask that families continue to be flexible as our ability to be in-person may change depending on factors beyond our control. For now, we are enjoying Bagel Breakfasts in Menorah Valley together!

Our teachers are working hard to plan community building, engaging, Jewish educational experiences for our students and families. We hope to see you soon!

Please contact Becky DePalma, Religious School Director at educationdirector@templeemanuelws.com or 336- 722-6640 (ext. 102) if you have any questions.
