LEARNING & GROWING
TEACHING CHILDREN HOW TO THINK “JEWISHLY”
Madden joins his Limud classmates through online remote learning.
LIMUD is not your grandparent's Hebrew school--children are actually excited to attend. Teaching focuses, above all, on "values" and "experiential learning."
Kiki's Kids / USY Programs
We wish Eitan all the best as he studies in Jerusalem for the year. Lucky for us, he'll be working with Limud once a month! Read his bio here.

CTI’S TEEN GROUP (KIKI’S KIDS) VISITED THE MUSEUM OF JEWISH HERITAGE

What People are Saying . . .
"I feel close to your community there in Glen Cove again, and it has really been a blessing and a lighthouse in the pandemic storm to me to attend the services and participate. You do indeed, have a holy community." —Beth Singer Washington, DC
[This is just one of the comments we received after CTI's first Virtual Rosh Hashanah Service — it came in all capped...]
"BLOWN AWAY BY SERVICES TODAY. ALL OF YOU WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND TO PREP THIS SERVICE AND IT WAS PERFECTION. NOT ONLY WAS IT BEAUTIFUL, IT WAS INSPIRATIONAL. HAD TO BE THE BEST HIGH HOLIDAY ZOOM SERVICE IN THE COUNTRY! !
L'SHANA TOVA....Lubah and Jerry"
"We were looking for a communal home, which was not just about prayer and learning. It's about people connecting with people."
Our family continues to love celebrating the history and values of our Jewish heritage. The CTI experience provides us with an opportunity to engage with our spiritually at our own pace and as we are most comfortable. Our Rabbi recently shared the importance of ensuring that all members are able to freely take part without ever being “Jewbarrassed.” We are very honored to be part of CTI and appreciate the journey as we support our children in strengthening their connection to Judaism.
Chad & Lauren Altman
“Try to make the world a better place.” I learned it at CTI. Next to being healthy, it is definitely the best feeling ever!
So, I am grateful for the place I call home in my heart -- CTI with its special Jewish practices, traditions and family I TREASURE whenever I spend time with them.
