Temple B’nai Shalom’s Daniel Pearl Education Center is the only school-based center in the US dedicated to the ideals of the late Daniel Pearl, the highly-respected Wall Street Journal reporter who was killed by extremists in Pakistan while researching a story.

Activities of the Daniel Pearl Education Center include:

• Active integration of Daniel Pearl Education Center themes into the curriculum of the temple’s Religious School, Confirmation program and adult education program.
• Celebration of Daniel Pearl Music Days, a global celebration. Noted jazz musician Cliff Korman was the featured performer at this year's free concert.
• An annual trip to the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC, for Temple B’nai Shalom’s Bar/Bat Mitzvah class and the eighth grade class at East Brunswick’s St. Bartholomew’s parochial school.
• A videotaping program of area Holocaust survivors by temple teens.
• A planned “teaching tolerance” symposium for area religious and public school teachers.
• And much, much more.
