We’d like to thank you for entrusting STaRS with your child’s Jewish education and encourage you to invite Jewish friends to enroll their children in STaRS. We are really proud of the positive experience that STaRS provides for Jewish youth and would love to see more children and families benefit from this community.
No family will be turned away from STaRS due to financial hardship. Please request financial assistance by clicking on the link below, or contact Katie Evenbeck at katie@cstsr.org for assistance throughout the school-year.

STaRS Mission Statement
Our goal at STaRS is to open a door to learning for every student in order to foster a love of Jewish tradition and community.
As well as in-person sessions, we offer online material for Hebrew study, family education opportunities and field trips. Students will explore Jewish custom and tradition through cooking, art, dance and music. We use a flexible educational system based on the values of Torah, Avodah (prayer), and G'milut Chasadim (acts of loving kindness).
Beginning in 4th grade, students will begin preparing for their B'mitzvah. We hope all of our students will grow into committed and thoughtful Jewish adults who will support and participate in the life of our synagogue and will be a lifelong participant in Jewish communal life.

We welcome parent participation as we continue to develop our program. If you have feedback or questions about registration or any other Religious School concerns, please contact us.
