Limmud B’Shabbat (Learning with Shabbat) is CBST’s primary K-7 Jewish education program. Curriculum includes T’filah Services for Children, Hebrew Instruction, Jewish Texts, Jewish Core Values, Art, Drama, Music, Jewish Culture, Jewish History and LGBTQ Values. Our education program reflects our community and enables our children to understand and find their home in the diversity of the Jewish world. We meet twice monthly in classroom settings, plus 4 times a year for family retreats, in and outside of our shul.

We are seeking a dynamic, creative, and fearless individual to take our programming for children and families to the next level. We are working to expand our community of students and their grownups with equal emphasis on formal classroom instruction, informal education opportunities, and family education experiences.
