Temple Sinai of Glendale seeks to nurture a commitment to Judaism through hands-on experiences, Jewish practices, and Torah to understand the traditions of our people while addressing issues in the contemporary world. We provide a foundation of Jewish literacy, embrace our different connections to God through tefillah, and strengthen responsible and thoughtful religious and ethical choices based on knowledge of Jewish values, traditions, and history.

Hebrew education typically begins in fourth grade. Our Hebrew curriculum comes from Behrman House, the world’s largest publisher of Jewish educational materials. Its focus is fluent reading and comprehension of the basic prayer service.
Bar Mitzvah / Bat Mitzvah
Students prepare for Bar or Bat Mitzvah over several years through the regular Hebrew and Religious School curricula, and during the Bar or Bat Mitzvah year they attend an additional special class. Each Bar or Bat Mitzvah student also receives several hours of private tutoring.
