Our children are a top priority at the RJC. The shul sponsors a wide range of educational, religious and social activities designed for the youth of the community, serving all ages from toddlers through high schoolers. These activities enrich and entertain our children throughout the week and prepare them for a lifetime of Jewish commitment.
