The caring sense of family and community that is central to our synagogue is reflected in  the philosophy and daily routines of our preschool.

Learning together in a warm and supportive community, students in our religious school from Kindergarten through Confirmation develop a deep knowledge of Judaism  and a personal connection to their heritage.

For the beginner or the scholar, single-session classes or year-long courses, history and culture or in-depth Torah study, lifelong learning at Brooklyn Heights Synagogue offers something for everyone.
