Welcome to the Powell Religious School
Sharon Forman-Toll, Director of Lifelong Jewish Learning
Shalom chaveirim! Hello friends! Thank you for visiting our website and inquiring about the Powell Religious School. On the pages that follow, there are a lot of descriptions about our programs, our philosophy, our goals and information about the nuts and bolts of our Temple and Religious School. However, in order to get to know us, I invite you to come into our home and experience for yourself the high energy and enthusiasm of our students and faculty actively engaged in the learning process.
When you visit, you will see projects completed by our students, colorful bulletin boards and classrooms decorated to enhance the learning experience. You will see collections of items to be donated to those less fortunate than we are. You will see the smiles on our students’ faces as Judaism comes alive for them and they express their pride in being Jewish.
You will hear the buzz of lively discussions and students and teachers interacting as they discover the meaning of the teachings of Torah. You will hear the laughter of students enjoying the exploration of their heritage and tradition and you will hear their voices singing songs of praise, prayer, celebration and fun.
You will feel the warmth of the community we have created. You will be aware of the nurturing environment created by our teachers and the bonds of friendship existing among our students. We hope that you will feel welcomed into our community and made to feel at once like you belong.
Of course, it is also highly likely that you will also taste the sweetness of Judaism. Our Parents Religious School Organization frequently provides tasty treats to enhance our learning. Apples and honey, latkes, soufganiot, hamantaschen, challah, dried fruit, falafel and an ample supply of Hershey’s kisses are always on hand as we strive to keep Torah on our lips and the sweetness of Judaism on our tongues.
I look forward to meeting you. Please call to schedule a visit or with any questions you may have. I hope to see you soon.
