Frankel Religious School
Our mission is to build a vibrant religious school and learning community where students live Jewish lives expressed through their actions and values. We welcome families from the full spectrum of Jewish life. We strive to provide our students with a solid foundation grounded in Judaics, including Torah, Hebrew, Israel, holidays, and Jewish values.

About Frankel Religious School

The Frankel Religious School creates a foundation for fostering deeper connections to Judaism, our synagogue community, Israel, and the modern world. We strive to nurture a welcoming and enthusiastic community where all family members can find a variety of ways to connect to our congregation. Whether social, learning, or volunteer opportunities, we have something for everyone in the family and work with parents as partners on this holy journey.

We offer school for preschool through 2nd grade on Sundays, 3rd grade through 5th grade on Sundays and Tuesdays, and 6th grade and 7th grade on Tuesdays and Saturdays. The backbone of our program is our unique curriculum for students in preschool through 12th grade.

For questions about FRS, please email Irit Eliav Levin, Interim Head of School, at Irit@h-nt.org.

FRS parents are dedicated and fully committed. To contact the FRS Parent Committee Chair, email Jennifer Rosenwald at ParentCommitteeChair@h-nt.org.

Our Mission

The mission of the Frankel Religious School (FRS) is to build a vibrant school where students actively live Jewish lives expressed through their actions and values. The Frankel Religious School creates a foundation for fostering deeper connections to Judaism, Herzl-Ner Tamid, Israel, and the modern world. We are a school of inquiry and we promote asking good questions. We strive to foster a welcoming and enthusiastic community where all family members can find multiple ways to connect to our congregation through social and learning events, parents’ activities, volunteering, social action, and friendships.

2024-25 School Year

This year we will continue to offer robust, meaningful learning opportunities with options for online and in-person. Whether taking the distance learning approach online or opting for in-person learning on Tuesdays, at FRS we meet our students where they are at in a sincere and sensitive way and then take their Hebrew and Judaic learning to the next level.

All HNT members can simply log into Shul Cloud account and go to the “start school enrollment” area. After enrolling, please go back into Shul Cloud account and set up the payment schedule. Here is the direct link for members: https://h-nt.shulcloud.com/school_enrollment.php

If you are new to HNT, please click here for the curriculum and click here for the tuition for FRS.

Mishkan Program:

In our tradition, the Mishkan was the portable sanctuary that traveled with our ancient ancestors in the desert. 

For students who are unable to attend school during the Tuesday afternoon time slot, we are using the same “Mishkan” approach and are taking FRS to you through a satellite learning approach as another alternative. The cost of the Mishkan program is $1000 per student per year in addition to regular FRS registration. The cost pays for the teacher salary for the year as well as the curriculum and materials for class. Follow this link to register: https://h-nt.shulcloud.com/form/mishkan-program.html

 If you are interested in learning more, please email Irit Eliav Levin, Interim Head of School, about the Mishkan program so we can partner together to meet your child’s learning needs. Irit can be reached at Irit@h-nt.org.

Both in-person and virtual options are available for our weekday program for third-seventh grade students. At the start of the year, teachers work with families to determine the best time slots for their student. Assessment tests are also given to ensure that students are best matched by ability to facilitate high quality learning.
