In keeping with the philosophy of the Conservative Movement,  Montebello Jewish Center Religious School is dedicated to educating our youth to be knowledgeable, responsible, and participatory Jews. Our primary goal is to provide our students with a nurturing and enjoyable school environment which fosters an enthusiasm and love for Judaism and a commitment to life long Jewish living and learning.

Our curriculum is geared toward fluency in Hebrew reading as well as comfort and familiarity with the Siddur (prayerbook), synagogue rituals, and a basic understanding of our prayers. We also strive to foster a positive Jewish identity in our students, as they develop an understanding and appreciation for the holidays, Shabbat, Israel, History, and Jewish values.

We strive to achieve these goals in a school environment that is inspiring and one that prepares our children with the essential values, ideals and traditions for practicing Judaism in our ever-changing world!

Sincerely,
Cantor Michelle Freedman, Religious School Director
Debbie Plumer and Lori Bregman, Co-chairs, Board of Education
