“At Temple Jeremiah, Jewish education is more than a classroom experience. J-Quest is the Jeremiah Jewish Journey—a path of learning, connection, and growth that helps every child and family build meaningful Jewish memories and discover what Judaism means to them. Through engaging learning, strong relationships, Hebrew, prayer, social action, and community, J-Quest supports students and families at every age and stage of life.”
-Matt Rissien, Director of Congregational Learning

Student Accommodations
Creating meaningful and accessible experiences for every student is a core value of J-Quest. We understand that support can look different for each learner, and we are committed to meeting those individual needs with care and flexibility. Our registration form includes expanded questions to help us gather information to set each student up for success. The more we know about your students, the better we can prepare our teachers and staff to create a supportive environment. We also know that things may change over the course of any given year, and we see this as an ongoing partnership. If there are any changes or additional accommodations that may be needed at any time, please be in touch with the Director of Congregational Learning.
Safety and Security
At Temple Jeremiah, the safety and well-being of our community is paramount. We have implemented comprehensive security measures to ensure a secure environment for all congregants, students, and visitors. Our protocols include controlled access to the building, with all entry points monitored and secured by off-duty uniformed police officers and sheriffs during J-Quest programming.
Our staff and clergy undergo regular training in emergency preparedness, including active threat response and first-aid procedures, in collaboration with security experts and local law enforcement. Additionally, we maintain a visible security presence during services and events to ensure immediate response capabilities.
We are committed to fostering a welcoming atmosphere while prioritizing the safety of our community. For any questions or concerns regarding our security measures, please contact our Executive Director, Danny Glassman, at danny@templejeremiah.org.
