an innovative approach to jewish learning

Kehillah means community. The Kehillah program is Shaare Emeth's new educational program for our 7-10th grade students. It is designed to both foster community among our students while giving them an opportunity to explore Judaism in ways that are most appropriate for their development.

The Kehillah Program is the overall 7-10th grade educational program for Shaare Emeth. There are specific Core Classes for each grade level as well as additional learning experiences called chai credits that the students will participate in during the year.
