Students will experience a curriculum that embraces Jewish traditions, values, and culture while learning Hebrew along the way. They will also participate in art projects, Israeli dance, music, holiday celebrations, special events and field trips. Enrollment is open to all regardless of membership at NHS.

Netzach Committee
Inspired by a vision to strengthen our synagogue community through service and connection, Netzach brings together Northern Hills Synagogue members committed to making a difference both within our congregation and throughout the broader community. The name Netzach reflects the committee’s guiding philosophy. It is rooted in two core Jewish values: chesed (compassion), which calls us to respond to immediate needs with kindness and care, and tzedek (justice), which challenges us to create lasting change by addressing the root causes of those needs. When these values are combined and embraced as a community effort, they become Netzach—a word that also means eternity. The name reminds us that the work of repairing the world is never finished and that there will always be opportunities to care for others, strengthen our community, and make a lasting impact together.
Netzach is the umbrella for several initiatives that provide opportunities for members to care for one another, support important causes, and engage in hands-on community service. Current efforts include the Green Team, advocacy initiatives, the Caring Committee, the MLK Day Service Project, and blood drive efforts.

Men's Club
The Men’s Club is an auxiliary of Northern Hills Synagogue here to strengthen, promote and advance the activities of our congregation. The Men’s Club also has a lot of fun enjoying and participating in great programs like our Annual Chinese Dinner, tours of interesting local attractions and our monthly movie night! It is a combination of a service organization and a social group, providing services and assistance to synagogue programs. Join a Men’s Club activity today or talk to us about membership.
