AT CHABAD HEBREW SCHOOL, WE NURTURE A POSITIVE JEWISH IDENTITY BY IMPARTING IN EACH CHILD AN APPRECIATION OF JEWISH HISTORY, CULTURE AND VALUES.
Through the years at CHS, your child will learn and gain an appreciation of Jewish festivals and history, traditions and Mitzvot, Israel, Jewish moral values, and general Jewish trivia.
Your child will use art, music, drama, and a host of creative activities, to learn the Jewish holidays, discover the Jewish heroes and heroines that have shaped our history, and explore Jewish traditions and values.
Throughout our curriculums, your child will learn the importance of being a ‘mentsch’ – a moral, compassionate, responsible and giving individual – and be encouraged to take responsibility and leadership roles in their home and school environments. Jewish heritage has never been so relevant, meaningful and alive.
HEBREW IS THE LANGUAGE OF OUR PEOPLE.
Mastering Hebrew will enable your child to connect with their heritage and meaningfully participate in Jewish experiences. At CHS we prepare your children to fully experience Hebrew through our syllabus of reading, writing and learning basic conversational Hebrew.
Our motivational Aleph Champ reading program enables children to master Hebrew reading skillfully and quickly – at their own pace.
JEWISH HOLIDAYS ARE THE CORNERSTONE OF JEWISH LIFE.
The Chagim (Holidays) are a major focus at CHS and are always preceded with projects, crafts, and carnivals. Your child will have fun learning about the Holidays and come home excited to celebrate and share their beautiful stories, songs and messages.
There’s always a fun and creative program leading up to each Jewish Holiday and celebration, and every year we introduce something new. Shabbat learning comes to life with an exuberant Shabbat dinner and/or spirited Havdallah service. Chanukah will see us creating a creative Menorah craft or frying latkes. Tu B’shvat could be celebrated with a “Chopped” style culinary competiton or an edible food craft. Purim might bring a Hamantash Bake-off or costume party. Passover learning may include a Model Matzah Bakery, creative Seder plate craft or chocolate Seder.
Beyond the CHS class setting, we host incredible community Jewish holiday events and family celebrations that bring our learning and heritage to life. From pizza in the hut (aka Sukkot), Public Menorah lightings and Chanukah extravaganzas, a Grand Purim party & masquerade, Lag B’omer BBQ, and a hearty Shavuot ice cream party – our events are heartwarming community celebrations.
