Academics

Judaics Studies - On par with the competitive Jewish secondary schools.

The goal of our JS program is to engage in the whole student and achieve inspiration that comes from within. Inquiry and excitement for learning will be sustained as our students journey into a lifelong career of learning Torah. Through a mix of traditional classroom frontal teaching, chabura, chavruta, and Beit Midrash style learning.

• Tanach - Comparative Tanach with a rich gloss into all the written books and prophets.

• Talmud - In a formal setting, traditionally taught open book, Sugyot based Talmud, rich Aggada exposure, students will have the ability to select a track of Judaic Studies with a more intense track, and a more robust track that will include a broader exposure to Talmud and be more Bekiut (broader/faster) and less B'Iyun (in depth). Both styles are welcomed.

• Halacha (L'maaseh) - Practical Halacha with application. Enhanced with hands on learning of Jewish Law. Real exposure to Shulchan Aruch and applied principles. 

• Yediyot Klaliyot - General Jewish knowledge, and textual skills.

• Machshava and Mussar - Torat Eretz Israel, Modern Thought and Philosophy.

• Tikkun Olam - Sourced textually, experienced hands on real world chessed.

• Ben Adam L'chavero - Exposure to diverse communities, Social Action, Peer to Peer, Skill Building.

• Torah with Purpose - Not only as a lecture, put to practice daily. Activism through the lens of Torah. Learning text is important, living it and experiencing it solidifies the process.
