Chavaya Religious School 2020-21 – Looking for an engaging, liberal Jewish education program for your child? For the past 10 years we have successfully used an online platform with grades 3-7 for one-on-one Hebrew learning arranged at times convenient for families and tutors together. While all grades focus on Jewish Studies on Sundays, grades K-2 attend tuition-free. We also offer engaging social and educational experiences for grades 8 & up. The new school year began on Sunday, September 13, and will continue in a virtual format until further notice. If you would like to learn more about all Shaare Tefila has to offer please contact Babette Cohn, Director of Education & Programming.

We regret to announce that Gates of Discovery: The Rose and George Teller Preschool of Shaare Tefila will be temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is our hope that, as circumstances change, we will be able to again offer a preschool to the greater Olney community. For more information about our current preschool aged programming, please contact Babette Cohn at 301-593-3410 ext. 106 or bcohn@shaaretefila.org.
