Youth & Family Engagement

In addition to all that we offer at the Rabbi Leslie Yale Gutterman Religious School, we have a variety of ways for our youth and families to engage in Jewish life and learning.

K’Tantan offers programs and worship service experiences for families with children age five and under, and invites participation from Temple Beth-El families and community. 

Our Youth Groups offer engaging programs for students in Grades 1-12.

Family Shabbatot are a wonderful way to celebrate Shabbat with your entire family.  We begin the evening with a communal dinner before moving into the sanctuary to enjoy services led by our RLYGRS students.  Be sure to join us for Family Shabbat (even if your child's grade is not the one leading) on the following Friday evenings beginning at 6:00pm:

November 1, 2019 - led by Grade 6
December 6, 2019 - led by Grade 5
January 28, 2020 - led by Grade 4
April 3, 2020 - led by Grade 3
May 1, 2020 - led by PreK-Grade 2 in honor of our Faculty
May 22, 2020 - High School Graduation Shabbat

Holiday Celebrations allow us to come together as a community and would not be the same without the energy and enthusiasm of our children!
