We recommend that students add a T’filah studies class, also known as Hebrew School, beginning in Grades 3. New this year, we ask ALL new T’filah students to attend a summer ulpan or to take Hebrew alphabet courses on duolingo prior to the fall. We’ve scheduled 2 different ulpan sessions for parent convenience.

  • Ulpan 2 | Wednesday, August 20, 2025 – Friday, August 22, 2025 | 12:30 – 4:30 PM

Tuition, Membership, and Financial Aid

Please note that tuition enables us to compensate our faculty and provide supplies for our programs. However, it does not cover the cost of program design, security, maintenance, or administration, all of which is covered Temple membership, which also provides full access to our clergy for all of your lifecycle needs — from baby namings and b’nai mitzvah to weddings, funerals, and more.

However, Wise remains committed to ensuring that every child can receive the gift of a Jewish education, so if the price of membership and tuition appears daunting, please click the FA button above to submit our easy, confidential Financial Aid form. Aid is awarded without regard to race, nationality, or ethnic origin.
