The Gan is a holistic community, a k'hillah, grounded in the Jewish values, rituals, and practices of Adas Israel Synagogue. It is a part of all of us - the beating heart of our community of young families - and has been since the preschool opened in 1972. We know the Gan as a place defined by love for children and respect for their relationships. The Gan has never “only” been a place of education and caregiving but has long been a community hub through which children, families, and educators form lifelong friendships. The Gan is a place that impacts people's lives.
