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—
What’s in a Name?
We had a fantastic class! Everyone arrived in pajamas, carrying stuffed animals and blankets. We turned off the lights and read the story about Jacob and his dream of angels ascending and descending the ladder. We also learned that Adonai is with us even when we feel lonely or scared. At the end, the kids ...
What’s My Purpose?

Last week’s lesson focused on how we’re connected in G‑d’s story and how He has a purpose for each of us—through Yeshua—to bless others.

This last Shabbat, the portion about Sarah’s life was a difficult topic to discuss with the children because it involves talking about death. Usually, as adults, we try to avoid that subject, but in reality every human being will face it sooner or later. Instead of skipping it, we decide to talk about how Adonai ...
Waiting on G-d
Last week in Shabbat School we had a wonderful time! The kids had some delicious hot chocolate, but since it was quite hot, they had to wait a little while for it to cool down before they could enjoy it. From this the kids learned that sometimes G‑d makes us wait, just like Abraham had ...
G-d Keeps His Promises
Last week, we learned about Abraham and his obedience in leaving his land to go to a new place. We played on the floor with a special map. This week, we are learning about Abraham and Isaac, and how G-d keeps His promise. The Torah teaches that G-d promised Abraham he would be the father ...
Noah’s Ark and a Map
Last week was wonderful! The kids saw our Old Testament map projected on the classroom ceiling, and we discussed Noah’s Ark—where it might have been built and what land appeared after the flood. This week, we will focus on Abraham. Just as he trusted G-d and developed a personal relationship with Him, we can do the ...
