Mensch Lab
Mensch Lab is our vibrant, innovative religious school for students from Kindergarten through Bar/Bat Mitzvah. At Mensch Lab, joy is at the heart of everything we do—we believe learning about Judaism should be something children eagerly anticipate each week. Through creative activities, genuine connections, and hands-on experiences, we help students build a strong and lasting Jewish identity rooted in community and meaning.
Honoring Our Legacy
Named in memory of Rabbi Harold B. and Elise Waintrup (z”l), Mensch Lab embodies their enduring values of menschlikheit—human decency, kindness, and community. Their spirit guides our vision and inspires our work every day.
