We will continue to adapt as guidelines shift. What if creative spiritual practice was a part of Jewish education? If the paintbrush, dance shoe, sense of humor, yoga mat, and drum kit were as integral a part of Jewish education as a tallit, siddur, and Hebrew letters? Open Temple’s Creative Torah Academy is a unique Jewish Journey for students to engage in Torah, Jewish Civilization, Thought and Traditions through art, music, movement, theater, nature and spirituality. Our studio sessions, creative activities, discussion forums, guest artists and visits to locations around Venice and Los Angeles nurture the Jewish imagination and critical thinking. We believe in setting families up for success. We depart from the traditional weekly Hebrew School obligation and offer a program that blends these experiences: Monthly Home Chevruta – small group experiences in private backyards Monthly Zoom Rooms Once every other month community family experiences outdoors and around town Shabbat and holiday engagement opportunities At-home “DIY” Jewish living kits “Judaism is the evolving religious civilization of the Jewish people.” -Mordecai Kaplan, Founder, Reconstructionist Judaism The most enduring element of the Jewish people is adaptability. At CTA, we not only teach the next generation of Jews about the content of Jewish history, thought and peoplehood, but methods that drive Jewish adaptation. The disciplines of art and spirituality are the lenses through which we refract the “hidden Jewish light” that the Torah teaches us was created on the first day of creation, and collectively explore what is revealed through this “bending” of tradition. CTA brings the Open Temple methodology of “performance art ritual” — engaging prompts, contemporary conflicts, creative departures from text and tradition — into the “Hebrew School” classroom, where the classroom is transformed into an atelier, dance and yoga studio, and black box theatre. Our students are young people who thrive in the creative and individualistic curriculum, who think for themselves and enjoy sharing their individuality with others to create something larger together. Our students are the children of intermarried couples, assimilated Jews, Jews without Jewish education, or Jews with too much Jewish education, Jews who feel disenfranchised or alienated from Jewish life or Jews on the periphery and their children. Open Temple provides a place for all of the “Jew-ly curious” to reclaim our spiritual center right where we are and apply the knowledge we possess to the knowledge we inherit. Together. read less

There is a parking lot entrance off of Effie, and gate codes are required (provided upon enrollment). We may also meet around town in parks, people’s homes and cafes when it is appropriate to the lesson. Kindergarten - 8th grades. Our Mission Simcha – Focus on the joy of learning and Jewish identity Kehillah - Create a community where families will engage in and celebrate Jewish life Dor l’dor - Engage in multi-generational learning and develop family rituals and connections that reflect our individual beliefs Historia - Understand the history of the Jewish people, and the influence it has on our present and future Tarbut - Immerse in Jewish arts & culture Tzedek - Act upon our tradition’s commitment to justice, both within our community & the greater world She’elah - Encourage an open environment for questioning, while exploring a variety of perspectives of the Jewish tradition Our Approach We use the Responsive Classroom model for learning, where social interaction and process are equally as important as academic learning. We encourage positive teacher language, avoid rewards systems, and establish self-rules for the classroom. We are supporters of interfaith marriage, and any families of varying backgrounds who are choosing to explore Jewish heritage. When discussing lifecycle events we work toward reimagining rituals for the modern family, including the open support of gay marriage and single parents. While G-d is often a character in Jewish story or the center of Jewish prayers, we do not impose a theistic belief on our students. We give students options and keep ideas open, while remaining truthful to the content. Stories from the Torah are taught as mythology with historical context. Ethics are socially focused, rather than externally imposed. G-d is part of our intellectual discussion, but not our moral dictator. We examine how human beings benefit from morality, such as: Shalom Bayit (peace in the home), Tikkun Olam (Repairing the world), and Hachnasat orchim (Welcoming guests). We believe in providing all people with accessibility to Jewish history, culture and community. read less

Students are expected to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and push the boundaries of what Judaism is, was, and could be. ​RELEVANT. At the end of each year, we meet with our students and develop our course catalog based on their specific requests and feedback. But more than that, you choose the courses that you take. Whatever your reason - a course topic is particularly appealing to you, a friend is in a certain class, or you love a specific educator - your courses are your choice. ​COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR REALITY. We hear you: high school is tough, it's busy, and your schedule changes every 5 minutes. That's why we've designed Chai School with flexibility in mind. We offer courses in the Fall, Winter, and Spring, on Sunday mornings and on certain weekday afternoons. You can sign up for as few as one course or as many as six. How many courses you take, which courses you take, and the time of year you participate in Chai School is up to you. Questions? Contact us at 310-481-3232 or [email protected]. read less

Grab your passport and get ready to take off on your very own Jewish adventure with Westside JCC’s JExplorers program! Our goal for each of our explorers (students) is to inspire their curiosity in a fun, interactive, and informal environment. Highly trained navigators (teachers) lead learning expeditions where our explorers discover Judaism through a wide cultural lens. Using our unique ‘exploriential’ teaching method, students (and parents!) learn about Jewish holidays and traditions, ethics and values, heritage, history, food, dance, music, art, basic Hebrew concepts and more! Parents and families also participate through field trips with their child and holiday celebrations. Each cohort meets three times a month; two weekdays and one Sunday totaling seven hours each month. The weekday meetings will focus on the monthly themes (i.e. nature (teva), community (kehila), and repairing the world (tikkun olam), etc…). Sunday will be ‘exploration day’ as our explorers and their parents join us for exciting field trips connected to the learning themes for each month (i.e. tree people hike, cooking class, Pico-Robertson treasure hunt etc…). read less
