At Greenwich Reform Synagogue we value lifelong Jewish learning at every stage of life. We offer children and adults of all ages engaging, experiential, interactive and intellectually stimulating classes and programs.
We provide educational opportunities for everyone no matter their Judaic knowledge and background, in both formal and informal settings. We are proud that GRS is a place in which our students are so comfortable that they call it their second home.
Creating a Love of Jewish Learning
Our goal is to imbue our students of all ages with a love of Jewish Learning and a feeling Jewish pride while providing them with the Judaic and Tefillah (prayer) literacy to feel comfortable not only at GRS, but within the larger Jewish world.
Establishing a Love of Learning
Our mission is to help children become excited learners and kind, contributing citizens.

B’nei Mitzvah
The Bar/Bat Mitzvah is one of Judaism’s most cherished and enduring coming-of-age rituals. To become a Bar or Bat Mitzvah means, quite literally, to become a “son or daughter of the mitzvot”—accepting responsibility for Jewish practice, values, and community life as a young adult.

Adult Education
At GRS, we don’t just read sacred texts – we discuss them, argue about them, and add our voices to them – and we learn broadly and deeply – from all our tradition has to offer. We host regular groups and classes such as book club (GRS Reads), Torah and Talmud study with Rabbi Jordie Gerson and prayer recitation fluency and understanding with Cantor Michelle Rubin.
