When attending or working at URJ Specialty camps, campers and staff are surrounded by those with similar passions and get to immerse themselves together in these interests. Staff get the special opportunity to learn how to coach and mentor others in their chosen field while continuing to grow alongside campers.

Anshe Emeth’s Religious School provides a quality Jewish education for students Pre-K through 12th grade. Our clergy, professional staff, and temple members share their commitment to education and the celebration of Jewish life. Our curriculum emphasizes God, Torah, and the people of Israel through the study of Jewish religious practice and prayers, holiday and customs, history, Hebrew and a commitment to Kol Israel. Our inclusivity program, known as Kulanu, is nationally recognized by Matan and has been part of our school for more than 30 years as we strive to meet the needs of each student and family, supporting them and creating learning approaches so everyone is fully involved in the learning community at AEMT.

  • … guided by Jewish ethics, values, and ideals
  • … lived meaningfully through Jewish practice and tradition.

Jewish tradition is a rich and deep sourcebook that guides, informs and illuminates, and directs the way people understand the world and make decisions.

That Am Yisrael constitutes ever broadening circles, beginning with family and moving through synagogue, local Jewish community and the Jewish world community. It comprises the Jewish people today and throughout history. That Eretz Yisrael encompasses the land, state and people of Israel, both today and throughout history. That Hebrew is the universal language of Am Yisrael and, therefore, is necessary in order to have full access to Jewish Peoplehood.
