Virtual Religious School

Accessing our "Virtual Religious School Classroom"​​

We are working to provide virtual Religious School activities so that we can continue to serve our community through the current crisis.

All online Religious School classes will be held in one of two Virtual Religious School Classrooms. See the class schedule below, mark your calendars, and when it is time for your class to begin, visit the zoom link below to enter the B'nai Torah Religious School Classrooms! 

If you'd prefer to join the Virtual Religious School Classrooms via phone conference instead of video, dial 1-929-205-6099 when the class is scheduled to begin. When prompted, enter the Meeting ID below followed by the "#" key.

If you need help accessing Zoom, please scroll to the bottom of the page for step-by-step instructions.
