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.

With programs and events for young families, older adults, singles, couples or all of us “b’yachad” – together – our very full calendar reflects the diverse interests and needs of our congregation.
