We want Kulanu to be a different experience for our students and not mirror that of the schools and classrooms they attend during the week. Kulanu is so much more than “religious school”: it’s a warm, inclusive community where every child belongs and discovers their own Jewish identity through inquiry and exploration. This philosophy guides everything we will do—from Sunday sessions to youth-group events, family learning, and holiday celebrations.

Within the Kulanu umbrella is a new program, called Sesame Shul, a once a month hands-on class geared for preschoolers ages 2-3 and their parents, shaping Jewish identity through interactive play, crafts, stories, and prayer.

Sesame Shul will meet monthly beginning Sunday, August 24 (additional dates to be announced in coming months) from 9:15am-11:00am.
