About Our School

The Irving T. Wolfson Religious School of White Meadow Temple is a Jewish supplemental school dedicated to creating a caring and supportive environment for excellence in Jewish education. We emphasize Tefillah (worship of God), Limud Torah (study of Jewish texts), Mitzvot (observance and practice) and Gemilut Chasadim (acts of loving kindness).

As a school affiliated with the Conservative movement, we seek the integration of Judaism into the lives and homes of our students. We are committed to enhancing the full intellectual and spiritual potential of each student through traditional and innovative means.  We seek to build a school community in which students work with a dedicated faculty, which will bring to each student a love of Judaism, Jewish values, and a deep regard for the individual differences and worth of each student.  We seek to instill a respect for Klal Yisrael, the entire spectrum of the Jewish community and Jewish civilization. We seek to inculcate Ahavat Yisrael (a love of Israel), its language, land and people. We are committed to the study of Hebrew as the language of prayer and seek to provide students with a foundation for further study.

In a secular world, we seek to imbue our lives with a sense of Kedushah (holiness), an awareness of God’s presence, and our individual and collective responsibilities toward God’s creation. We cultivate a sense of wonder, gratitude, and thankfulness, which is the foundation of  Jewish religious life.

July Message from Janice Rozenwasser
Irving T. Wolfson Religious School Director

As I look back on this past year at the Irving T. Wolfson Religious School, I am inspired by how much we have accomplished here with your children, academically, socially and spiritually. It has been a strong year educationally, with the focus of nurturing each child’s individual growth, and I have seen social friendships form and strengthen. Spiritually, we have grown together as a community, praying together in our school wide service every Tuesday, and learning and sharing Judaism’s history, traditions and culture. I am deeply touched by the student’s compassion and caring towards others with our school wide Tzedakah collection and would like to share with you some of the ways that was expressed this past year.

Tzedakah money was collected each day of Religious school, and we raised over $ 350 this year! Of that money, $ 100 was raised to help the victims of the horrific terrorist attack on the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva, where young yeshiva students were gunned down while studying in their school library. We began the year collecting money to help the Israeli Defense Force Veterans, who have been permanently injured during their service to Israel. We also had an extremely successful Chanukah Toy Drive, which benefited the underprivileged children of the Ohel Children Home in New York.  In addition, to help combat hunger in our local community, the Dalet and Hey classes and their parents prepared sandwiches to help feed the homeless for the Morristown Community Soup Kitchen.

The famous Jewish scholar Maimonides said that the highest level of giving Tzedakah is anonymously.  Our students do that on a daily basis, giving what they can, in a discreet way, to help the less fortunate. I am so proud of them, and thank you, their parents, for helping support our Tzedakah program!

As summer approaches, I urge you to continue to come to services, read Jewish books with your children, light Shabbat candles, and continue to enhance our student’s lives with the beauty and richness of Judaism.

Wishing you a healthy and peaceful summer,

Janice Rozenwasser
