CSZ Village is for anyone seeking warmth, meaning, and connection—without the barriers of traditional synagogue membership. If you’re a young family, a young professional, or simply looking for a fresh way to plug into Jewish life, you’ve found your Village.
No Dues. Just Doing.
There are no membership categories or annual statements. Villagers give in ways that feel honest—time, energy, financial support, or a mix. Some volunteer or help plan events; others contribute when they can. When everyone participates from the heart, the Village thrives.
Community Is the Point
CSZ Village is not just a place to attend—it’s a community to belong to. In a world that can feel isolating, we offer depth, presence, and care through:
We’re here to be truly meaningful for those seeking this kind of connection.
Built By the People Who Show Up
The Village works because Villagers help shape it. You’re not just a name—you’re a co-creator. Your ideas guide our programs, learning, celebrations, and how we show up in the wider community. Whether you’re drawn to family Shabbat, social justice, spiritual growth, or simply finding your people, your voice matters.
If you’ve ever thought, “I want Jewish community, but the usual synagogue model doesn’t fit,” CSZ Village was created for you.
Come for a Shabbat. Try a program. Meet a few Villagers.
You may find the spiritual home you’ve been looking for—one we’re building together.

Our curriculum is written for our school by our Rabbis and Director of Youth and Family Learning. Each grade level has specific goals and learning targets that encompass the following areas:
Learning and practicing Jewish rituals, holidays, and ethical actions, emphasizing how these observances connect individuals to Jewish tradition and community.
Fostering a connection to Israel by exploring its geography, history, and significance as the Jewish homeland.
Centering on learning and understanding Torah stories, characters, and teachings, and applying their lessons to daily life.
Emphasizing the importance of ethical behavior, acts of kindness (Gemilut Chasadim), and fulfilling obligations like Tzedakah (charity).
Exploring the meaning and practice of prayer, teaching students how to communicate with God and understand the significance of different prayers.
Focusing on learning the Hebrew alphabet, vocabulary, and basic reading skills to engage with Jewish texts and prayers.
Each grade level explores these themes through engaging and age-appropriate lessons. Teachers use a variety of teaching methods and resources, including the Chai Curriculum.
We are fortunate to have a dedicated team of professional Jewish educators. Our teachers receive weekly planning time, during which they use our curriculum and learning goals to craft engaging lesson plans. They benefit from regular coaching and feedback from our Director of Youth and Family Learning and participate in ongoing professional development throughout the year. Our educators are passionate about their students and committed to their growth and success.
