Education drives our mission.
At Temple Har Zion, we believe that Jewish education is the foundation on which our community is built.
Our rabbis and educators are committed to bringing learners of all ages together with educational programs designed to explore Jewish traditions and inspire personal growth. From infancy to adulthood, we provide educational and recreational programming for members to develop their knowledge of Judaism and become comfortable practicing their religion in a supportive environment.
We are dedicated to cultivating the next generation of Jewish leaders by instilling a strong Jewish identity in our young congregants and fostering a love of Judaism they will carry with them throughout their lives.
Virtual Learning
We make learning accessible by offering online programs. Stay in touch with our virtual education offerings
