Religious School
Kol Emet’s religious school is a vibrant program in which our children explore being Jewish in fun and meaningful ways. The school’s devoted and enthusiastic teachers – many of whom are congregants and parents or grandparents of KE students – cultivate a friendly and warm environment in which each child is known and nurtured. We introduce our youngest members – as well as their families – to Jewish values, culture, history, rituals, and language through a wide array of dynamic and creative modalities.
Our school is committed to welcoming our diverse Jewish community.
We understand Judaism as a CIVILIZATION. In addition to religious beliefs and practices, Jewish civilization includes art, music, food, language, literature, ethics, social justice, and more. Jewish people live in MULTIPLE CIVILIZATIONS today, and we encourage children and families to bring their “whole selves” to class.
Our school thrives on the values we teach and the values our children learn from their families. We know schedules are hectic, and families are busy, but we encourage all families to get involved in the best way they can. Our main goal is for our children – and their families – to be engaged in Judaism in today’s world (and to have fun)!
Weekly classes are taught by professionals and madrichim. Madrichim are post Bnei Mitzvah students who are well versed in Jewish education. This model – “giving back to their community and remaining engaged in Jewish life after seventh grade” – connects our students with their madrichim. We often hear our younger students say they want to be a madrich/a after their Bnei Mitzvah!
We would be happy to have you join Kol Emet and our religious school. Please contact Sue Weiner, 215-493-8522 ext. 103, Religious School Director, to ask questions, take a tour, or just say hi!

Adult Education
BEIT MIDRASH (House of Study)
The adult education programs provide opportunities for adult members of Kol Emet to learn about and better appreciate various aspects of Jewish life, culture and history through a wide range of methods. These include discussion groups, formal classes, seminars/lectures, and speakers. We strive to offer mainly complementary programming to members of Kol Emet, and non-members of Kol Emet are welcome to attend any of these programs.
How you can get involved in building the Adult Education Program: Assistance is always welcome in offering suggestions and topics for future adult events and in coordinating events for our members and community at large. There are multiple opportunities for members to exhibit their special skills in writing, teaching, and organizing workshops on Jewish related topics.
