Temple Institute of Religion (TIR) Mission Statement  

The mission of TIR is to provide our students with pathways that encourage the development of a personal concept of Jewish identity, and a sense of connectedness to our Temple, community, and the State of Israel.  In an atmosphere of creativity, warmth and caring, students, parents and teachers will explore God, worship, history, mitzvot, and g'milut chasadim, guided by the principles of Torah and rooted in Jewish values and traditions.

Philosophy of TIR  

Think of TIR as a Jewish en-surance policy, and our faculty and staff are the en-surance agents.  We are charged with the responsibility of providing "coverage" of the basics of faith and practice, of language and history, in order to secure the future of Judaism, they should know that their chid/ren have the maximum protection under our policy.

Blending the latest research in secular education, and the values of thousands of years of tradition, our faculty and staff will plan engaging lessons for our students.  We will make every effort to brildge their studies to the home wherever possible, so that families can take advantage of all the resources available to them through The Temple.

Our families matter to us, and they should know that they are "in good hands" with TIR.
