Mission Statement
The mission of the Religious School of the Jewish Community Center of Long Beach Island is to identify and prioritize the needs of the children in our geographic area, then to organize and implement those activities that will successfully impact them. The religious school by definition focuses on the Jewish educational needs but not to the exclusion of human services, family, and economic needs, as well as providing support for our Center, Israel and our community.
Policies
The Religious School Committee will determine the school policy. The Finance Committee will be responsible for preparing a budget for the Religious School.
Hiring and terminating of Personnel is the responsibility of the Religious School principal with the approval of the Religious School Committee. Those decisions will be based on annual evaluation forms and the results of periodic performance reviews. Curriculum is the responsibility of the Religious School staff in consultation with the Religious School Committee
Goals
1. To educate our students in the spirit of Jewish tradition and the practice of Judaism
2. To impart knowledge and awareness of the Torah and its significance as the foundation of the religious and ethical traditions of Judaism
3. To instill the belief in one G_d through T’fillah (prayer), the celebration of Shabbat, the festivals, and the Jewish life cycle
4. To impart knowledge of the land of Israel and the Hebrew language, and an appreciation for the significance of both in creating a bond among the Jewish people
5. To develop within each child a sense of responsibility to the Jewish community through the performance of Mitzvot
6. To enhance and foster strong Jewish identity and commitment to Synagogue and Jewish communal life
