The Hebrew School is designed to create
meaningful and positive Jewish experiences. Our goals are to
develop a student’s sense of spirituality, love of God and a
feeling of responsibility to the Jewish community. The children
and their families will gain a greater Jewish identity by
learning and attaining the knowledge they need to celebrate
Judaism in the home, Synagogue and community. The curriculum
emphasizes Hebrew prayers, holidays, history, ethics, Israel and
the Bible, with exposure to Jewish culture. Our staff utilizes
multi-sensory teaching methods. We recognize the many learning
styles children need to be successful in the classroom today.
By providing our students with positive and
meaningful involvement in Jewish rituals and celebrations, we
hope to inspire them to become knowledgeable and dedicated
life-long Jews. All classes celebrate holidays throughout the
year.
The Hebrew School offers a unique program of
Jewish education, providing families with a two-day mid-week
choice of either Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday from 4:00
– 6:00 PM for Aleph through Dalet grades. Students are required
to attend services throughout the year.
Hey Class
In
the 7th Grade (Hey Class), the students meet on Tuesday evenings
from 6:25-8:00 PM for instruction in Prayer, Jewish Literacy,
Ethics, Israel and the Holocaust. It is important for the
seventh graders to explore Jewish life outside the classroom
walls. Students accomplish this by volunteering at the Temple
and in the community, as well as attending Shabbat/holiday
services.
It is our goal that graduates leave the Religious
School with the knowledge and ethical values of the Jewish tradition
etched in their minds and hearts and continue their Jewish education
at TBA’s High School.
