Jewish Culture School

Jewish Culture School is a twice-monthly Sunday School for ages 5-14 and focuses on culture and history. We sing, dance, cook, and learn about Jews everywhere in every time. We still have room for more students, and our engaging program ensures that this is a Jewish school your kids will enjoy. We meet twice a month in Pleasanton.
