Teachers and students on stage

Beit Sefer Shalom

Beit Sefer Shalom offers high-quality Jewish education for Pre-Kindergarten (ages 2+) through 12th grade that meets the diverse academic, social and emotional needs of our students and community. It is a safe and nurturing environment where students develop a strong Jewish identity and families can engage in their own Jewish educational experience.

We have compiled a list of resources to facilitate learning that happens outside of Caspe Terrace, which can be found in Remote Learning Resources. This page is also the home for Zoom links for virtual classrooms.

Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, Lubavitch and Reconstructionist Jews, whether affiliated or unaffiliated, are welcome and find common ground in our religious programs. Learn more about our approach, leadership, and location.
