At Hebrew School of the Arts, we believe that every Jewish child is entitled to a Jewish education. To achieve this goal, Hebrew School of the Arts offers a warm and lively Jewish atmosphere where children can attain a unique and exciting awareness of their Jewish identity.
We endeavor that our students should...
-
Attain a strong sense of love of Judaism and pride in being Jewish.
-
Discover & explore the Torah (Bible), the incredible history of the Jewish people & see its relevance in today's day & age.
-
Gain an understanding of the practices & traditions of Judaism.
-
Know the morals, values & ethical behavior taught by the Torah.
-
Have a hands-on experience & appreciation for all Jewish holidays.
-
Master Hebrew skills of reading & writing.
-
Understand basic Hebrew words.
-
Learn and master basic prayers so that the students will feel comfortable when attending Synagogue services.
-
Gain an understanding and appreciation for the Land of Israel.
-
Allow for students to express their opinions and questions about G‑d, Torah & religion.
-
Attain a Jewish perspective on life and maintain Jewish involvement beyond the years at Hebrew School, and to ultimately perpetuate these to future generations
Indeed, a child equipped with an education and a feeling for Judaism’s beautiful teachings, traditions, and historical lessons is a child better equipped to face the awesome moral challenges of today’s society.
Our school’s underlying approach is for the children to enjoy the time spent so that they are left with positive feelings and fond memories of their Jewish education. Our program is thus carefully blended with songs, games, incentives, arts and crafts, drama, field trips, family celebrations and other exciting co-curricular activities.
