Youth & Family

Room J

Our Room J Hebrew school partners a Judaic curriculum with exploration and creativity. We emphasize Jewish community, knowledge, and commitment. We guide our students to think for themselves about the intersection of Judaism and their lives. Small-group learning is hands-on; we believe understanding best comes through doing, by translating words into action. Room J students draw, build, cook, sing, act, sew, paint, dance, and debate. They sometimes make a big mess — and that’s great!

Contact Education and Engagement Director Audrey Korelstein at roomj@emjc.org for more information or to enroll.
