Melville Jewish Center’s programming is age-appropriate and aims to entice our students to learn about their history and heritage as well as Torah, Hebrew reading and Bar/Bat Mitzvah prep.  Classes for our younger students are a unique opportunity for younger students to begin early and enjoy being part of our community.  These children are learning through play, art and small group experience; we set the tone early that Religious School is fun!

Our older students participate in services regularly and have the opportunity to learn with clergy.  This enables them to feel comfortable and confident as they head toward Bar and Bat Mitzvah.  It also gives them a sense of pride in their leadership roles.  We have special events surrounding holidays such as Pizza in the Hut, baking, and celebrating Yom H’Atzmaut with spirit.  Lastly, our oldest students take field trips such as to the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center in Glen Cove.
