About the Program:
The Rabbi Jacob Pressman Academy is an educational arm of Temple Beth Am. The Academy consists of an Early Childhood Center, Day School, and Religious School. We support the synagogue in its commitment to God, Torah, Conservative Judaism and its institutions, the broader Jewish community, and the state of Israel. We promote the egalitarian and halachic (Jewish legal) practices of Temple Beth Am. The Academy encourages families to lead active Jewish lives; children need to be part of a community of shared values. We teach a balanced, rigorous curriculum in which Judaic and Hebrew studies enhance and enrich secular studies in an atmosphere of mutual kindness and respect.
