Childrens' Educational Offerings and Sunday School

In a small Jewish community the ability to interact with other Jewish children is very important. Congregation Ahavat Shalom offers this experience for all ages of our children.

Sunday School provides our youngest members with their first contact with their “Jewishness.” Through play, activities and studies designed for Pre-K through age 11, every child feels part of the Ahavat Shalom community. They become familiar with the Jewish calendar, life cycle events and religious content.
