Dear Hebrew School Parents,
We are pleased that you have chosen our school for your child. We believe that the Hebrew School experience should be fun, inspiring, and provide warm memories for a lifetime. Your child should gain an understanding of Jewish life and traditions. Most importantly, we hope to instill in your child a love of Judaism and of Israel, a deep pride in being Jewish, and a commitment to Jewish life.
We have many exciting programs planned for this year, including several new and innovative ideas as well as proven winners from past years. Our students will be engaged with the special curriculums and presentations that are prepared for each class. Plus, there are always plenty of educational games, crafts, baking, and prizes to keep the momentum going. We also offer a full array of holiday events for our Hebrew School families throughout the year.
Looking forward to seeing your child in September!
Warmly,
Rochel Susskind
