The philosophy of the Kehila Sunday School is to establish in each child a love for Judaism and for Jewish culture and tradition. To do so, Kehila believes that a foundation in Hebrew, particularly an ability to read and a familiarity with the basic Shabbat service, is important. The Sunday School morning is divided into three class sessions, Judaics, Hebrew, and Chuggim or clubs. Each year a unifying theme ties the school curriculum together. Past themes have included Jewish ethics and values, traditions, the Jewish diaspora, the environment, and the prophets. In the chugs, children are able to pursue hands-on Jewish oriented activities such as music and klezmer, poetry, crafts, cooking, and folk dancing. Special programs are organized that highlight Jewish themes for the children such as mitzvah days, tzedakah and the homeless, tikkun olam (repairing the world), the Holocaust, and our own heritage and roots.

Kehila encourages parents to reinforce that which is taught in the Sunday School program by working together with their children on homework assignments and discussing materials and concepts presented in the classroom. Since classroom time is limited for Judaics and Hebrew study, student cooperation with the teachers is important and parental guidance with homework or other assignments is essential. In this way, each child benefits more fully from the program.

The Kehila Sunday School is not intended as a "drop off" facility, and parents are encouraged to attend the Sunday morning adult education program while their children are in class. As stated before, the Community believes that an important message is transmitted to children when they know that their parents and other Community members value Jewish education for themselves as well as for their children.

Additional midweek Hebrew classes (at an additional charge) can be arranged if there is sufficient interest among parents and students. Students who become bar/bat mitzvah during the school year are expected to complete that year of study in the school. Parents of students who choose to prepare for bar/bat mitzvah arrange privately for extra tutoring in Hebrew and also may arrange special planning meetings for the ceremony through Rabbi David Shneyer.
