Many of us come to the Workmen’s Circle seeking a way to provide our children with a sense of pride in their Jewish heritage and an ethical foundation, without an explicitly religious context. We can do a lot at home. But identity and values deepen through communal rituals and structures that connect our children and families to something larger.
Whatever your Jewish background, whatever the faith, ethnic, or gender diversity of your family, we hope that you will find a welcoming and meaningful way for your family to engage in Jewish community through our secular and cultural programming.
- Our secular school -- the Shule – provides children, grades 1 through 7, with Jewish cultural literacy and progressive cultural literacy.
When you choose a Jewish educational program for your child you are also choosing a Jewish community for your family. We encourage you to explore the full website and attend a variety of community events as you make your choice about your child’s Jewish educational experience.
“How important is it to me that I pass a Jewish identity on to my child? I have struggled with that question. Workmen’s Circle gives me lots of room to figure out what we want in a spiritual home in the context of a deep sense of Jewish culture and pride.”
“My grandparents were immigrants from Eastern Europe. I regret that my son never had the chance to meet them and I saw the Shule as a perfect way to acquaint my child with his cultural heritage. I discovered an additional benefit that I didn’t expect: a warm, down-to-earth Jewish community where I feel I belong.”
