Philosophy and Goals
Every Jewish boy and girl needs an
intensive Jewish education; an education that will provide the tools necessary to
experience the inspiration and joy of Jewish living. We believe that a Jewish
education should guide our children towards maturity as integrated
personalities rooted in our faith, our peoplehood, and our traditions,
preparing them to lead significant roles in a developing, creative American
Jewish community.
Our Curriculum has
the following goals:
1. To imbue the child with love of God and trust in God’s goodness, finding
expression in the student’s experience of prayer, Shabbat and holiday
observances, and performance of Mitzvot.
2. To create and encourage opportunities for the child to develop spiritual and
ethical sensitivity.
3. To develop a desire and convey the skills necessary to practice the Mitzvot
and traditions of Jewish life in the Synagogue and in the home.
4. To teach Hebrew reading, writing, and vocabulary as the foundation for
understanding and locating prayers in the Siddur
5. To broaden and deepen the child’s intellectual and spiritual life through
knowledge of the history of the Jewish people, our literature and culture.
6. To strengthen the child’s identification with the local Jewish community,
the land of Israel and world Jewry; to engender in him or her a desire to
actively share in the responsibilities of Jewish communal life and leadership.
7. To explore the teachings of Judaism and the ideals of American democracy,
for the reciprocal influence they have each upon the other.
8. To motivate each student to accept study as a life-long pursuit by making
his or her Jewish studies uplifting and relevant to his or her life.
