2nd-4th Grade
2nd grade begins the formal study of Hebrew and Judaic education for students. Children now begin to participate twice a week in our program in preparation toward becoming a B’nai Mitzvah. Our overall objective is to begin providing students with an appreciation of the Siddur, Hebrew language, Tanach, Jewish ritual and God. Students continue an in-depth exploration of holidays, a look at Jewish symbols and the core concepts of Mitzvot through the “HUT” program (Holidays Happenings, Ulpan Irvi (Hebrew), and Torah Tidbits.

5th Grade-7th Grade
Out 5th-7th grade learners are in the crux of their formal preparation to become a B’nai Mitzvah. The Hebrew curriculum emphasizes the Shabbat morning service, Haftorah Blessings, and trope. Hebrew proficiency is mastered through key prayers in the service & additional prayers in the Musaf service; emphasis is also on understanding the meaning of these prayers and the traditions followed when davening. Proficiency in Jewish Studies is rewarded with the honor of a Silver Kepah for 5th grade, Greenie Beanie for 6th grade, and 7th Grade Graduation.
