Judaism is about community and belonging, ethics, spirituality and celebration. At Temple B’nai Abraham, we give our children tools that enable them to be comfortable with living a Jewish life while encouraging them to explore their own spiritual path. Judaism teaches that each of us has something unique and precious to contribute to the world and an obligation to make the world better. With these ideals in mind, the school’s curriculum is innovative, interactive, hands-on, joyful and action-oriented. It emphasizes the study of Torah and values, exposes our students to Jewish world cultures, and teaches them a vocabulary of Jewish life, holidays, and Hebrew. Our teachers are passionate about Jewish education and about our children. Together we are teaching values, inspiring Jewish traditions and making friendships that last a lifetime.

Our teen program offers a flexible, participant-driven Jewish learning experience designed to help teens explore their interests, deepen their values, and build meaningful community at TBA and across the North Shore. Teens are also exposed to local and national Jewish organizations to help them cultivate their own Jewish landscape as they become adults.
Through a “create your own pathway” model, participants choose from a diverse menu of opportunities across categories including social connection, Jewish learning, skill development, and hands-on experiential activities. Each opportunity is assigned a credit value, and teens are encouraged to complete 18 credits over the course of the year. Alongside these individualized experiences, the cohort gathers monthly for reflective practice, conversations about modern Jewish ethics and contemporary issues, and opportunities to strengthen relationships with peers and mentors. The program empowers teens to shape their own Jewish journeys and helps them develop the tools to live Jewish lives with meaning and purpose as adults.
