Education
Our Philosophy of Education
Congregation Beth Israel offers a multi-faceted Jewish educational program, serving our entire congregational family as well as welcoming all other interested Jewish Austinites. Whether the focus is on four-year olds entering a synagogue class for their very first year of formal Jewish education, or on our beloved Second Sixty program bringing ongoing Jewish learning to our elder members, CBI believes that the mission of our education program is to help all members of our congregation learn about Judaism. Our focus reaches far beyond B’nei Mitzvah – the Jewish rite of passage when Jewish boys and girls are called to Torah at age thirteen.
