Our Shabbat School meets every Saturday, starting after the conclusion of the Torah Service portion of our Worship Service (usually between 11:30 and 11:40 am). This lets the children participate in praise & worship with their families, as well as the Torah Service itself, before we pray for them and they head over for their weekly lesson and activities (and snack). Children age 4 through 11 are welcome in our Shabbat School.
This year we are following along with the Torah Portions each the week. We have fun adding characters to our Tree of Life and places to our Bible map as we engage in the interactive lesson and reinforce what we are learning with games, crafts, and fun activities.
Here’s what is coming up in Shabbat School—
Being Yeshua’s Disciple
Last week at Shabbat School we learned about the Table of Shewbread and about our worship. This week we begin the book of Vayikra with another look at holiness and what it means to us as disciples of Yeshua.

Living in His Presence
In Shabbat School this week, we began discussing the Tabernacle, Adonai’s dwelling place in the middle of His people. Understanding how to live a holy life can be complicated at any age, but holiness means living a life set apart for G‑d. With this lesson last Shabbat, we wanted our children to understand what it ...
Worshiping G-d
We didn’t have Shabbat School last week, due to the winter storm in the area. If we had, we would have read about the Children of Israel worshipping at the Red Sea. Worshiping G‑d is not an activity reserved just for adults during services; actually, it should be reflected throughout our lives and include the lives ...
Hearing and Obeying
This week in Shabbat School, we talked about Moses coming before Pharaoh and asking him to let Adonai’s people go. In life, G‑d sometimes repeats His messages because we don’t listen the first time. Usually, His initial communication is gentle, but if we ignore it, He will use other means to get our attention, often through ...
