At Chabad Hebrew School, we believe that meaningful learning goes far beyond memorizing facts from a textbook. True understanding comes when a child engages with a subject using all their senses and emotions. Here, children don’t just learn about Shabbat—they actively experience it by preparing for and celebrating a real Shabbat, bringing the lessons to life.

Our carefully designed curriculum follows a hands-on, minds-on, and souls-on approach, with age-appropriate learning goals. Every lesson, project, and activity is thoughtfully planned to ensure that what students learn each week is relevant, meaningful, and lasting.

Hebrew Reading

Reading Hebrew—the original language of the Torah and Jewish prayer—is an essential part of Jewish life. We support each child individually as they learn to read Hebrew, using the nationally acclaimed Aleph Champ™ program. This motivating, level-based system encourages students to progress from learning the Aleph-Bet to fluently reading prayers from the Siddur (prayer book).

Jewish History

Jewish history is not just a series of events—it’s the ongoing story of every Jewish individual. Starting from the Six Days of Creation and moving through the ages, students explore the incredible journey of the Jewish people and their own place within it. Through interactive lessons, children meet biblical and historical figures, learning about their challenges, victories, and lasting contributions. This inspires students to see themselves as a vital link in the chain of Jewish history.

Mitzvot and Jewish Practice

Children discover the meaning and purpose behind Jewish rituals and traditions. The Torah is filled with timeless values and mitzvot that guide us in living meaningful, productive lives—even in today’s world. Lessons are exciting and engaging, enriched with hands-on projects, creative activities, and thought-provoking discussions.

Tefilla – Prayer

Through lively songs and meaningful discussions, students become familiar with basic Jewish prayers and liturgy while gaining comfort and familiarity with the Shul (synagogue) setting.

This dynamic approach to learning allows students to truly connect with their Jewish heritage in a way that is engaging, personal, and lasting.
