Our school philosophy is threefold:

Engage – Our students attend secular school all week long, so their Religious School needs to stand out, offering an array of engaging and exciting approaches to learning. The knowledge our students receive and the skills they acquire should be made relevant to their lives.

Measure – All of our lessons, activities, and programs are based on measurable educational objectives, utilizing assessment tools that gauge what our students have learned.

Inspire – We can make our school and synagogue a place where students wish to be. The time they spend here should be both meaningful and enjoyable.  We want to see smiles, hear laughter, and produce an atmosphere that builds young Jewish identities and creates fond and lasting positive memories of their Religious School experience.

Head of Religious School is Avigail Eisenberg

Avigail Eisenberg was born in Orange County, CA, and moved to
Israel at the age of 1.  She lived there until the age of 7, and learned
to speak, read, and write Hebrew as her first language. Upon moving
back to the United States, her family became very involved in the Reform
movement.  Due to the influence of her mother, who is also a Jewish
Educator (and Avigail’s mentor), and the persistence of her father to
maintain her Hebrew, she has been involved in formal Jewish education
for 10 years.  She has taught Judaic studies and liturgical Hebrew at
Religious School settings, Modern Hebrew for Kindergarten-8th grade at
Jewish Day Schools, and has been a private tutor for both adults and
children.

Avigail has degrees in Psychology and Mathematics from American
University in Washington, D.C.   She was an Early Intervention
Behavioral Therapist and Consultant for kids with autism for three
years.  Joining the Temple Sinai family in 2010, she took on the
positions of Education Director for the Religious School, Youth Group
Advisor for TSY (Temple Sinai Youth) and NFTY (North American Federation
of Temple Youth), and 10th-12th grade Religious School teacher. Avigail
loves spending time with her family, including her four loves: Charlie –
her fiancé, and her three dogs, Odge, Lee, and Maya.  She enjoys
cooking, reading, and traveling.
