At Shir Ami we are dedicated to providing students with the knowledge and tools to develop and question their Jewish identity, as well as teaching them that Jewish learning is never over – it is truly a lifelong pursuit. V'Talmud Torah K'neged Kulam -- AND THE STUDY OF TORAH LEADS TO THEM ALL   A Message from Rabbi Eric Goldberg, Religious School Director</br></br> In Hebrew, a school where Torah is studied is known as a Beit Midrash, which means a house of learning or explanation. A Beit Midrash seeks to educate its students about Torah, sacred Jewish texts, and the rituals and beliefs that have sustained Jewish people for centuries. With this in mind, our school strives to develop and challenge each student’s beliefs, to increase each student’s Judaic knowledge and to inspire each student to take what he/she learns and use it to guide his/her life. Our school also seeks to be a warm and welcoming environment for families, where lifelong connections and friendships are built. Therefore, I look forward to getting to know, and study with, each child and parent/guardian who passes through the doors of our religious school. You should feel free to say hello and engage in conversation at any time and on any day of the week.
