TIRS PARENT INFORMATION
TIRS is a warm, inviting place. Children are encouraged to explore their Jewish traditions and heritage.
We take pride in strengthening each child’s Jewish identity and connection to the greater Jewish community. We hold Jewish learning, worship, and community as central values.
We have a strong and dedicated staff of educators, who mix formal and informal Jewish educational techniques to bring history and traditions alive.
* Differentiated learning for extra help or accelerated instruction is available to ALL TIRS students.
TIKVAH CHARLOTTE
Our tradition teaches that each of us is created B’tzelem Elohim, in the image of God, and that each of us is to be valued.
TIKVAH Charlotte is a joint special needs program between Temple Israel and Temple Beth El. This program provides individual and group learning in Hebrew and Judaica and is geared for students who have difficulties in attending mainstream classes.
If your child has specialized educational needs and you are interested in finding out more information about TIKVAH Charlotte, please contact Rabbi Kornsgold.
