School Information
The Temple Shalom Religious School was established in 1981 as a volunteer-run organization, operated by parents and others for the education of Jewish children, families and the Jewish community of Northwest Arkansas.
Today, our newly named Kehillat Yeladim is run by our spiritual leader, Jewish educators from the community and a robust cohort of parent volunteers. School meets on Sundays throughout the academic year from 10 a.m. – noon.
Kehillat Yeladim provides age-appropriate instruction in tefillah (prayer), Torah, Jewish holidays and Hebrew. Beginning at age 2 with Torah Tots, all the way through the 12-13-year-old B. Mitzvah preparation program, we utilize the curriculum from the Institute for Southern Jewish Life (ISJL) and work in small classes with children to ensure they feel comfortable in their Jewish identities and culturally competent in Jewish spaces.
It is important to our families that Jewish children in the community recognize they are not alone, and are able to practice Judaism in a joyful, unencumbered environment.
