Religious Education

Children in grades 1 to 9 attend a weekly class.​ Each class consists of 2 lessons and takes place on Mondays, Tuesdays or Thursdays in the late afternoon.

The content is conveyed in a relaxed, age-appropriate manner according to the principle of cyclical learning. In particular, the following goals are pursued:

​

Lower grades (1st – 3rd grade):

• increase familiarity with Jewish topics and content in a playful and exciting way

• make contact with other (Jewish) children

​

Intermediate (4th – 6th grade):

• estabish a basic knowledge of Jewish topics and content

• develop skills for practicing Judaism

• increase familiarity with worship

​

High School (7th – 9th grade):

• have in-depth knowledge of Jewish topics and content

• form opinions, take a stand

• develop Jewish identity

​

Religious instruction is open to the children of JGB members of all Jewish religious orientations, but also to children of non-members by arrangement.
