Unified Religious School Registration 2025-2026



Welcome to the registration form for the new Unified Religious School.  Please fill in the form completely so that we can provide the best learning opportunities for your child or children. 

If you do not currently belong to a synagogue, even if you plan to join one, please mark "unaffiliated" on this form.  Those who become members of Rodef Shalom Congregation, Temple Sinai, or Congregation Beth Shalom before September 10, 2025 will be exempt from extra fees. 

This registration form includes an option for registering high school students who want to continue learning beyond 8th grade.  We are modeling this after the current Temple Sinai program. While we encourage our Madrichim to enroll in this program, it is separate from the Sunday Madrichim program.  Registration for Sunday Madrichim will be coming at a later date.

Finally, please note that, rather than raising tuition this year, and in order to maintain common practices with Temple Sinai, all credit card payments will incur a tax-deductible 3% fee.  

Synagogue Affiliation

By choosing either Beth Shalom or Rodef Shalom as your home synagogue to receive the member tuition rate, you must:
     - be a current member in good standing of either congregation
     - and be the legal guardian of the enrolled student(s).

Tuition Agreement

ושננתם לבניך
And you shall teach them.
Words from the v'ahavta remind us of the mitzvah of providing for your children's Jewish education.

A note on tuition: Your payment of tuition allows our program to better educate the children, minimizing the financial underwriting of your synagogue's operating budget.  As always, we stand ready to assist anyone in financial need.  Choose one of the options below or feel free to contact Rabbi Stephanie Wolfe  or Rabbi Larry Freedman directly.  Please be aware that, instead of tuition increases this year, and in keeping with Temple Sinai, a 3% fee will be charged on all credit card transactions.

Family Cap: For families with 3 or more children enrolled in K - 8, tuition will be capped at $2900.  High school tuition is not eligible for this discount,  An adjusted tuition confirmation reflecting this will be emailed from the religious school office after registration.

Within one to two weeks of completing this registration form, you will receive an email from the religious school office confirming your enrollment, tuition, and payment plan.  Tuition billing begins in September. 

 
Please enter the last 4 digits of your credit card so that we can match it to your account.  New families, please call Rabbi Stephanie Wolfe with your credit card information as this form does not allow us to retain credit card numbers after the initial deposit is taken.

Those using ACH must mail a voided check or deposit slip to our office at: Religious School, 4905 Fifth Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15213.
