Dear Temple Isaiah Religious School Families,
We are so excited to have your child(ren) and family as a part of the Rabbi Harvey Witman
Religious School at Temple Isaiah for the 2024-2025 school year. I am looking forward to
working with an exceptional teaching and support staff for another successful year of learning
and fun.
Grades K-3 will meet for a two-hour session on Sundays, from 9:00-11:00 AM; Grades 4-7 will
meet for two hour sessions on Sundays, from 9:00-11:00 AM and on Tuesdays from 4:30-6:30
PM; the 8th-10th Grade Confirmation group will meet at the Temple on Sundays, from
9:00-11:00 AM, with the first hour of this time being dedicated to service within our school or
Temple space, and the second hour being exclusively reserved for discussion and activities with
myself; the 11th-12th Grade Post-Confirmation group will meet one Sunday per month from
11:00-Noon.
Classes will begin on Sunday, September 8th and Tuesday, September 10th. A tentative
Religious School Calendar is attached. 11th-12th Grade dates are to be determined.
The current registration packet is also attached. Please complete the documents and return
them to the Temple office as soon as possible. In order to serve each student best, I kindly ask
that you be as detailed as possible when completing these documents. We want to make sure
the information on file is current and accurate so we can be prepared to cater to your child(ren)’s
individual learning needs. Please include any IEP and 504 accommodations.
Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to teach your child, and to help shape them into
lifelong Jewish learners. We are excited as a school team to engage your child(ren) and entire
family, in order to make each Jewish journey as joyous and fruitful as possible.
If you have any questions, concerns, or would simply like to talk, I am here for you. Please do
not hesitate to reach out to me via email at: rabbijosh@templeisaiahsb.org , or by phone at
