JRC offers education for members of all ages from adult to pre-school. Adult Education A wide range of adult learning programs are offered at JRC. Mini-courses, monthly classes, workshops, retreats, and communal programs touch on a wide variety of topics and interests. At JRC, Judaism is studied using the texts of tradition as well as the tools of modernity--we seek both intellectual and spiritual engagement. Studying together and sharing insights and experiences is yet another way in which JRC members come to know each other. For more information, please click on the adult learning menu located on the left-hand side of your screen.

Religious School Programs JRC's religious school program serves members aged 3 - 18 year old. In all grades, parents are active participants in our school, either in classrooms alongside their children or during parallel parent education programs that meet during school hours. At JRC, Reconstuctionist Jewish education is based on Torah, Avodah, and Gmilut Chassidim--renewing Torah in each generation, crafting creative and diverse worship experiences (avodah), and participating in the holy work of repairing our world (tikkun olam/gmilut chassidim). Lifecycle events and holidays are woven throughout. For more information, please click on the religous school link on the left-hand side of your screen.
