The CSZ Clergy, lay leaders and Gabbaim welcome you to an engaging morning service for Shabbat in-person in the Sanctuary. You may watch the Services on our high-definition Live Stream.
This week we read Parashat Bemidbar. Shelicha Lior Zisser-Yogev will deliver the sermon. The CSZ Inclusion Committee is working hard to make sure everyone is welcome and comfortable at our services. We offer hearing assistance through the T-Coil Loop, a Listen Everywhere Bluetooth System and Earpiece Devices for those in need. Please ask an usher if you need assistance. We also have Russian-language prayerbooks, large-print, and transliterated prayerbooks, and accessible facilities for full participation by all in our services.

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.
