*If a B’ Mitzvah is part of your family’s plan, Freedom School is how you get there. The journey can begin as early as kindergarten, and must begin by the start of 5th grade. Hebrew learning begins in 3rd grade.
Our school requires annual enrollment and does not require weekly registration.
What is Freedom School?
Freedom School is The Kitchen’s answer to religious education: a family learning school (enroll your family here). It’s our way of doing Jewish for families with kids (kindergarten and up) on Shabbat + holidays.
Freedom School is a one stop shop for all your jewish needs. Jewish life happens on Saturdays (not Sundays) so why not learn jewish, by doing jewish.
Why Freedom School?
We believe learning Torah will move students to justice. How do we do it? We teach Jewish by doing Jewish, in context, in community and out in the world - so you can do more Jewish, more meaningfully, more often, as a family. In other words, Freedom School happens when Jewish life happens, where Jewish life happens. And guess what? Not only is learning through experience more effective, it’s a lot more fun.
