Our Hebrew School
We create an environment that brings Judaism to life, fosters creativity and supports your child's unique style of learning. We use a unique approach which is hands-on and stimulates your child's intellect. Our curriculum has been designed to make a lasting, positive impact on the life of your child.
Judaism Comes Alive!
Through drama, song, art and stories we bring Judaism to life. Our innovative methods make learning fun and memorable. We teach history by showing Jewish history alongside secular history, a method that encourages critical thinking. Through our mitzvah curriculum we emphasize each mitzvah's meaning for everyday life, in addition to the how-to of ritual observance. Our Hebrew language curriculum ensures that your child will be able to read from a ''Siddur'' (prayer book). More than that, your child will understand the meaning of many of the prayers. No matter what synagogue your child affiliates with later in life, she or he will share the language of prayer with Jews around the world.
Our Staff
Our Hebrew school teachers are carefully selected for their extensive knowledge of Judaism and for their dedication to children. Each teacher lives and breathes what he or she teaches, providing the best possible model for our students. Staff members have Rabbinic ordination, extensive Hebrew language skills, and/or attended teacher's seminaries. Through their education they have learned the strategies to successfully share Judaism with children of all levels of knowledge and ability. In addition to the Judaic studies that they teach, they understand the developmental issues applicable to the age level of their students. In short, our teachers are as excited about teaching as our students are about learning!
Bar & Bat Mitzvah
We believe that this, the most important event in the life of a young person, should be more than rout memorization leading up to an anxiety-ridden recital of the Torah. Our program delves into the true meaning of Bar and Bat Mitzvah. Through understanding, each young person attains greater appreciation of a Jewish adult's responsibilities. Private tutoring, arranged to accommodate today’s demanding lifestyle, is available upon request.
A rabbi will be accessible for consultation on all aspects of the special day. Your family will have the option of celebrating in the warm and traditional atmosphere of our synagogue, or at an outside location of your choice.
