K. A. T. S Judaic Education
Beginning with the 2000-2001 school year, Keneseth’s religious school joined with Temple Shalom’s religious school to create the K.I.T.S. Religious School, which has tremendously improved the level of Judaic education of all children in many different areas. Beginning with the 2008-2009 school year, Adath Jeshurun Synagogue joined the Sunday school, which has been renamed K.A.T.S. to reflect the three synagogues.
