About BT

Learning Together. For Life.

Beth Tfiloh Dahan Community School is a warm, supportive, and diverse community rooted in Torah values and Jewish traditions. Our school provides an education marked by academic excellence, joy of learning, respect, and attention to the individual. Our faculty fosters life-long learning and celebrates and supports students in reaching their goals as individuals and as members of the community. We prepare students to become compassionate leaders with integrity and character, who are proud, knowledgeable Jews, with a deep connection to Israel, its land and people.

A Message From Ms. Bracha Rutner

It’s hard to describe Beth Tfiloh in a single sentence. It’s a school, yes, but it’s also a community, a gathering place, a second home for so many families. From the moment I first walked through the doors, I felt it: the warmth of the students, the passion of the teachers, the pride of alumni, and the deep sense of connection that runs through every hallway and classroom.

Beth Tfiloh is a large school in numbers, but what makes it truly remarkable is how personal it feels. Our students are known and cared for. Families are welcomed, not just at drop-off and pickup, but into the life of the school. Generations return here, not out of habit, but out of love.

As a Jewish day school, we are deeply rooted in Torah values while embracing the world around us. We are proud of our dual curriculum, our inclusive spirit, and our commitment to academic excellence, personal growth, and Jewish identity. Whether you're here for the first time or have been part of BT for years, you are part of something bigger- a kehillah, a community.

As the new Head of School, I bring a deep respect for the legacy of this institution and a strong commitment to its future. I’m excited to get to know you, to listen, to learn, and to help guide Beth Tfiloh into its next chapter, one full of joy, curiosity, and purpose.

I invite you to come visit, meet our students and faculty, and experience what makes Beth Tfiloh so special. There’s something here for everyone, and I can’t wait for you to see it for yourself.

Warm Regards,

Ms. Bracha Rutner

Head of School
