KTTS Registration Form 5786

We are so excited to welcome you to the Kol Tzedek Torah School! Please complete this form for each child you plan to register.

Torah School is a program of Kol Tzedek Synagogue and is intended to serve members of our synagogue community. We welcome non-members to attend Torah School for one year before becoming members of the synagogue.

The 5786/2025-2026 school year begins on Sep 14, 2025 and ends on May 4, 2026. Classes will be held at Kol Tzedek, 5300 Whitby Avenue.

Classes will meet from 3:15-5:30pm on Sunday afternoons. Grades K-3 will meet in grade-level classes. Grades 4-7 will spend time with their grade level and time in mixed-age elective groups. All classes include 20 minutes of tefillah (prayer) in large groups. Our whole school also joins together at the end of the day for a havdalah ritual.

Hebrew Hevruta is how we teach Hebrew reading at Kol Tzedek! Students work in groups of 2-3 with a teacher for 35 minutes. Families can opt-in at any time beginning in 1st grade. Students who plan to have a typical Kol Tzedek B'nei Mitzvah should begin Hebrew Hevruta by 5th grade. 7th graders typically don't do Hebrew Hevruta because they are working with their B'nei Mitzvah tutor.

Hebrew Hevruta groups will meet on Sundays at 2:30pm, Sundays at 5:40pm, or on Wednesday afternoons/evenings. If your child is enrolled in Hevruta on Sundays, they will be assigned a time. Spaces for Sunday Hevruta are limited, and those times will be assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Tree House: KT After School is a weekly afterschool program to supplement Sunday's Torah School learning. Tree House is for Torah School students in grades K-6 and meets on Wednesday afternoons from 3:15-6:00pm beginning on August 28th. This enrichment program is an opportunity for kids to engage with Hebrew, prayers, and Jewish text in a mixed-age cohort. There are a limited number of spaces for this program, which will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. While we are not able to provide transportation from local schools, we are happy to help you coordinate with other families.
