Welcome to the Bernard and Alice Selevan Religious School — a warm, inclusive place where children grow in faith, curiosity, and community. We offer engaging, age-appropriate programs for Kindergarten through 7th Grade, blending joyful holiday traditions, meaningful Torah study, and hands-on learning that connects values to everyday life. `

Our experienced, caring teachers create a nurturing classroom where every child is seen and encouraged. Students explore prayer, Jewish history, Hebrew language, and social action through creative projects, music, and family events. We emphasize community, kindness, and lifelong learning.

The Three Pillars of BASRS

Community & Prayer (Tefillot)

Our classrooms are warm gathering places where prayer becomes a shared, joyful practice. Students learn the rhythms of tefillot, build friendships through song and ritual, and discover how communal prayer nurtures belonging and spiritual confidence.

Language & History

We bring Hebrew and Jewish history to life with hands-on learning and storytelling. Children develop language skills and historical understanding that connect them to our people, our texts, and their own evolving Jewish identities.

Living the Holidays

Holidays are lived, not just learned. Through cooking, crafts, music, and family celebrations, students experience the meaning of each festival—its values, traditions, and opportunities for service—so Jewish life becomes a lived, loving practice.

Join us — whether you’re new to Jewish learning or continuing a family tradition - to see how these three pillars shape curious, compassionate learners who carry Jewish values into everyday life. Enroll now for a welcoming year of discovery, celebrations, and friendships.
