Religious School Teachers for 2024-25

About us:

Shaarei Tikvah (“ST”) is a progressive, engaged Conservative community in Scarsdale, NY.  Our community of almost 370 families has grown tremendously in the past two years. We’ve been described as Westchester’s “hidden gem,” and we expect our growth will continue. At Shaarei Tikvah’s religious school (PK-7), we seek to inspire our children with a sense of wonder and appreciation of Judaism’s rich heritage and culture. Our weekday-only program (Monday - Thursday 4:00 - 6:15) provides a strong foundation in tefilah, Israel, holidays, Hebrew, and Bible stories, incorporating music and the arts in unique activities that make learning fun. Through questioning, creating, active participation and special family programs, children experience and learn about mitzvot, Torah, Shabbat, holidays, Israel and Jewish history.
