Our goal is to prepare our students to lead Jewish lives as mensches.

This year, our students will engage in Jewish learning through experiential and project-based learning. They will incorporate Hebrew vocabulary into their lessons as well as study Parshat HaShavua.
Hebrew for 3rd-7th Grade: Our curriculum focuses on T’fila and prepares students to lead Shabbat services. In addition to classroom Hebrew instruction on Sunday and Tuesday, students receive 30 minutes of individualized or group Hebrew Prayer reading instruction weekly. Students begin to learn the Alef-Bet and reading concepts in 3rd grade and then work at their own pace to learn prayers. Each year builds upon the previous year. In addition, students learn basic Hebrew vocabulary and language.
