Beit Binah (RELIGIOUS SCHOOL)
Kindergarten-6th Grade
A human being is a spark of the divine. Nowhere do we witness this more than with our children. Jewish wisdom teaches that this spark must be nurtured and developed through study, acts of kindness, and relationships with trusted mentors. Such is the spirit of Beit Binah, at Kol Shofar, literally, "The place of understanding."
Our program for students in grades K-6 is designed to instill a foundational knowledge of Torah, prayer-oriented Hebrew, and Jewish virtues. These traits will serve as an inspiration for further Jewish intellectual and spiritual development to last a lifetime. We are an egalitarian, inclusive program that blends traditional and contemporary teaching through the lenses of relevant Torah learning, prayerful reflection, deeds of loving-kindness, and community.

The Learning
The world depends upon three things:
Torah, Avodah (service of the heart) and Gemilut Hasadim
(acts of loving kindness)
- Mishnah, Avot 1:2
We employ a project-based curriculum guided essential questions and understandings, as well as identifiable units of knowledge and skills. Our curriculum is divided into three threads which interweave throughout the course of the year: Torah, Avodah, (prayer and meaning), and Gemilut Hasadim (acts of loving kindness). The following includes a condensed overview of the curricular goals for each grade level, which spiral forward from year to year.
