Kol Yeladim

Kol Yeladim Religious School

Our school strives to work in partnership with the family, synagogue, and community to provide knowledge, attitudes, and skills needed for Jewish living. The following logo expresses our strongest desire to teach our young people to practice Judaism with their heads, hearts and hands.

We attempt to make our classes in Torah challenging to our students’ intellect. Our tefillah classes strive to give our students not just the ability to pray Jewishly, but to feel a connection to God and the Jewish community. We also take the time to develop an appreciation that Judaism is a system of values that fosters care and concern for all of humanity, by learning to live by the values of Mitzvot, Tzedakah and Tikkun Olam. Our K-2 students attend on Sunday morning (9:15-11:45 AM), and our 3rd-6th grade students attend Sunday morning and Monday and Wednesday afternoons (5-6:30 PM). Our 7th grade students have class on Sunday morning and Wednesday evenings (6:15-7:45 PM). Our Bar and Bat Mitzvah program does an excellent job preparing our students for becoming B’nai Mitzvah. In addition to class on Sunday and Wednesday, the pre-B’nai Mitzvah students have private lessons with the Cantor and attend Shabbat services on a regular basis. Our students learn to read and chant from the Torah. They also learn to chant Haftarot and lead services. Additionally, each student studies with the Rabbi in order to prepare a dvar Torah. Many of our post B’nai Mitzvah students participate in Kol Ami’s Torah University and in Tampa’s Berger Community High School. Rabbi Ostrovsky teaches and directs the Confirmation Program for students in the tenth grade.
