Education
Chabad Hebrew School offers an education and memories that will inspire children for a lifetime. We create an environment that fosters creativity and supports your child's unique style of learning. Our curriculum instills pride, a sense of history, love for the land of Israel and a genuine understanding of what Judaism is all about.
Our School
Chabad Hebrew School offers a unique approach in Judaic studies. Our program is designed for elementary school-age children (ages 5-13) who are otherwise not receiving a formal Jewish education.
At Chabad Hebrew School we provide an experience that represents a positive, cheerful and enjoyable chapter of the child's maturing life.
Our Approach
At our Hebrew School , we strive to stress the beauty and warmth of Judaism and its Mitzvot (precepts). Our students are able to explore and discover the beauty of their heritage in an atmosphere of joy and warmth.
Many children are out of touch with an entity that has preserved us for thousands of years, an entity of beauty and deep significance and one which is inherently their own. At our Hebrew School an area of particular emphasis is in the inculcation of Jewish values and ethics. Mutual tolerance and respect for fellow human beings are taught as basic principles of the Jewish faith.
Our Philosophy
Our school is a traditional learning center that successfully caters to Jewish families from all walks of life.
Indeed, everyone can feel comfortable with our style and approach. Our school welcomes every Jew, regardless of religious background or level of observance. It is for this reason that our school does not require any membership or prior affiliation as a condition for enrollment.
The Atmosphere
The underlying strength of our school is in its general warmth and spirit, providing a learning experience in an atmosphere of joy and liveliness. Audio-visual presentation such as Shofar Factory, Chanukah Wonderland, Model Matzah Bakery, Friday Night Dinners, Havdallah ceremonies, school contests, field trips, hands-on educational family workshops as well as games, drama, songs, parties, and arts n crafts are blended with the curriculum. This will ensure that your child will receive a stimulating educational experience in a fun and exciting way.
Bar/Bat Mitzvah
As a boy or girl approaches the age of Bar/Bat Mitzvah, preparations for the big day begin. Our 8-week course on basic Jewish traditions and Bar/Bat Mitzvah training includes stimulating discussions and presentations on intriguing areas of Jewish life that the children will not have encountered in Hebrew School . These sessions will provide the child with valuable information that will prepare them for a most meaningful Bar Mitzvah. This program will ignite in them a love and pride in their Judaism and will help them define who they are as Jews. The course begins each January for the Bar/Bat Mitzvah children of the coming year.
Each session includes a Topic and an in depth study of the thirteen principles of faith. The girls also cover the Aishet Chayil, the details of how the mitzvah of lighting the Shabbat candles is fulfilled and a selection of Torah portions and prayers. The boys learn how to put on their Tefillin, the Brachot for the Torah, tune for the Haftorah and the blessing for the recital of Kiddush.
The Heritage Discovery course will include assisting your child in preparing an appropriate Bar/Bat Mitzvah speech. Each child will be provided with an outline and guidelines with which to create his/her speech.
In addition private lessons with Rabbi Greenberg will be offered as part of the Heritage Discovery Course, to assist the child with editing and practicing his or her speech as well as practicing the readings and recitations.
