Sholem Sunday School
A Secular Sunday School for Curious Minds and Open Hearts
At Sholem, kids discover Jewish culture, values, and identity through music, storytelling, and community, without dogma, doctrine, or pressure. Just connection, creativity, and a place to belong.
We follow a spiral curriculum, where key ideas return over time with greater complexity as students grow. Each two-year class explores a central question, with lessons that build on prior knowledge and connect across themes.
More Than a Sunday School.
Founded in 1952, Sholem is a secular Jewish community where families come together to explore heritage, values, and identity through a culturalm, not religious, lens.
Our Sunday School is just one part of a bigger mission: to create a space where curiosity is encouraged, diversity is celebrated, and Jewish culture is lived, not just learned.
We teach kids how to think critically, act ethically, and feel pride in who they are and where they come from. But we also welcome parents, grandparents, and chosen family into a vibrant, intergenerational community rooted in justice, creativity, and connection.
A Cultural Home.
Encouraging questions, ideas, and independent thought.
Using art, music, and storytelling to explore identity and culture.
Building bridges between past, present, and future.
Not Religious? Not a Problem.
You don’t need to come from a religious background to feel at home at Sholem. Many of our families are interfaith, multicultural, or just curious about Jewish identity.
We care about values, culture, and connection.
