About Our Community and Our School:

Dorshei Tzedek is a dynamic and growing Reconstructionist congregation in West Newton, Massachusetts, with over 250 member households. Our school and synagogue is a multiracial community that includes families, couples, and singles of all ages, Jews by birth and Jews by choice (or still choosing). We have an active and growing affinity group for trans/nonbinary/gender nonconforming children and adults.

Caregiver Testimony:
"Dorshei encourages children to question, challenge, and make Judaism their own; lending to a more meaningful and valuable experience of Jewish education."
Nina Cohen, parent of a 3rd and 7th grader

"I don't know what special sauce the Hebrew instructors have, but I'm shocked-shocked(!) at how much Hebrwe my kids know now!"
Parent of a 4th and 7th grader 

"CDT has helped my children and I find our Jewish identity. They have been so welcoming and accepting of my family even though we had very little Jewish education coming in. When I see my children reading Hebrew, singing Hebrew songs, and engaging with their class I feel that my intention [for joining] has been realized! They have the community I never did as a child and I am so grateful."
Parent of a 3rd and 5th grader

"The school thinks of Jewish education from the most inclusive approach -- finding multiple and indivdualized ways to be Jewish and be present at Hebrew school is special and very different from many other schools." 
Religious Schoool parent
