Third Grade students travel Atlanta with Rabbi Rau and the education staff for a full day which includes a volunteer project and social time as a class to bond with their peers.
Our fourth grade students participate in a Shul-in (sleepover) at The Temple in February. From 6:00 pm Saturday until 9:00 am on Sunday morning, participants get to know other fourth grade students and begin to feel “at home” in The Temple. There are no Sunday morning classes for fourth graders the next day.
Fifth grade students participate in an day trip to Camp Coleman in Cleveland, GA in the spring. During this travel experience, students get to know their classmates better, participate in creative Jewish programming, and spend time having fun.
Sixth grade students travel with Rabbi Rau and Elizabeth Foster to Whitwell and Chattanooga, TN for an overnight visit to the Paperclips Holocaust exhibit, a night out at an amusement center, and a caving adventure or to Birmingham, Alabama to explore the civil rights movement in the South, an amusement center, and an outdoor experience (alternating years).

Each June, rising juniors and seniors are invited to participate in a two week teen trip to Israel with Rabbi Rau. On this teen trip, students visit Jerusalem and the Old City, climb Masada, hike, rappel, kayak, snorkel, and participate in an archeological dig.
