- instill Jewish knowledge and love of Torah which encompasses all Jewish learning
- create community and connections within the school, the synagogue, and the Jewish people
- foster a love of Israel
- empower Jewish ethical living
- embrace Tikkun Olam, repair of the world
- provide opportunities for sacred moments

…so that we establish a love of Judaism that sustains the Jewish people.
