The Lincoln Jewish Community School offers religious education from Pre-school through High School. We are a jointly run school conducted by Congregation B'Nai Jeshrun and Congregation Tifereth Israel.The mission of the Lincoln Jewish Community School is to teach our children the richness of our heritage, help them to achieve a positive  Jewish identity and encourage them to actively participate in Jewish life at home, in the community and in the world.

The LJCS provides a strong, integrated curriculum rich in the study/implementation of Holidays, History Tanach (Torah),Mitzvot/Tzedakah, Israel and the Hebrew language.

We find many opportunities for exploration into the spiritual aspects of religion and tradition in addition to "hands-on" experiences and programs that allow our students to practice observances in their home and at school.
