judaic curriculum

love of torah and the land of Israel

Infused with values, morals and character development, the Judaic Studies curriculum is built upon cultivating a love of Torah and the land of Israel. Students enjoy learning and celebrating the Chagim and Shabbat. Through the parsha stories, children develop an understanding of mitzvot and lessons that can be applied to their daily lives. lvrit is spoken throughout the day, emphasizing Hebrew words associated with Alef Bet, Luach (calendar) songs, Davening and Chagim.
