Section C: Media Release Form

Many wonderful events take place at the Rabbi Felix Aber Religious School and we like to take photographs and record videos to celebrate student achievement and share our amazing educational programs with the community. Photographs and videos may be submitted to area newspapers, used throughout the synagogue and/or posted on the Temple Beth-El website or Facebook page to advertise our programs.

Section D: Congregation Community

You may have noticed that at the top of the form we begin with family information.  This is intentional.  The work of raising and educating Jewish children cannot be done in the school alone, but is a project of the school, the family and the community. You are not just registering your child(ren) for school today, but in fact your entire family.   When you come in the building and spend time learning and volunteering with us, you make a powerful statement to your children that Jewish learning is a lifelong process and that we are all on the same team in creating these experiences for them.  Don’t underestimate the subtle power of this statement!

Our program includes many times when the whole family is invited to participate.

In addition to those opportunities to participate we are in need of regular volunteers to make our school function optimally.  Would you consider supporting our school in an ongoing role or a limited engagement?

Section E: Payment Information
Please note that while the total amount owed appears above, tuition payments are due by September 1st.   If you have logged in and choose "Bill to my Account" on the next screen, a charge will appear on your TBE membership account, and you are welcome to pay at your convenience before the start of school.  If you choose to pay in installments, you will see that reflected in your own account as soon as our financial administrator makes the update.
Finances should never be a barrier to providing children with a high quality Jewish education. Tuition assistance for Religious School is available to Temple Beth-El member families. Please indicate below if you wish to request financial assistance for the 2024-2025 school year.
  1. Download the Financial Aid Application HERE, and return the completed form to the TBE office c/o Religious School Registrar or email it to calle-schueler@tbeithaca.org
By entering my name below, I accept these commitments to Jewish Education for the next generation both financial and logistical.
