The Gan HaLimud (Garden of Learning) is our innovative Youth Learning Program, inspiring students to connect with each other, engage with their Jewish identities, and dive into our rich Jewish values, traditions, and history. 

The mission of The Gan is to joyfully deepen relationships to Judaism and the community by engaging the soul, heart, and mind. 

Read more about Building Belonging Before Entering the Classroom on the URJ Blog, and see our Director of Youth Learning’s reflections on fostering engagement and connection at Temple Beth Am.

The Gan empowers Jewish youth to:

  1. Connect the community, the congregation, and each other.
  2. Articulate their personal relationship to Judaism by building a lasting Jewish identity.
  3. Have the confidence and competence to live Jewishly.
