To meet the educational needs of our youngest members, Congregation Sha'are Shalom offers an enriching experience at the Rosie Uran Jewish Education Center (RUJEC). It is our belief that education is the foundation of a child's life, and that Jewish education should be the cornerstone for Jewish children. Our program offers children a quality Jewish education in a stimulating, nurturing and secure environment.

RUJEC takes an integrated approach to the education of Jewish children. The Center's goal is to offer programs that promote all aspects of children's development and Jewish identity, enabling them to reach their fullest potential cognitively, emotionally and socially. We provide a wide variety of materials and experiences. The children are then given the time to explore and discover. This supports independent thinking, creativity, and problem solving. Positive reinforcement is stressed with emphasis on self-direction and self-discipline.

Our program offers a rich introduction to Judaism. The curriculum, which is designed and taught by a professionally trained staff, meets the developmental needs of each individual child. Jewish values are reflected in everything we teach. The children experience the richness of Jewish tradition as they sing Hebrew songs, learn the many blessings, hear Torah stories, celebrate Shabbat and holidays.
