Please save the dates for a special lecture with Yossi Klein Halevi: “The End of the Post Holocaust Era”.
REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED BY CLICKING HERE.
The post Holocaust era was a time of historical Jewish revival and renewal defined by the establishment of the state of Israel and success for Jews throughout the world, especially in America. It was a time marked by security, influence, and optimism about Jewish continuity. October 7 brought an end to that era revealing deep cracks and vulnerabilities. It sparked a need to reassess Jewish safety, identity, and peoplehood. Join Yossi Klein Halevi as he unpacks what characterized the post Holocaust era and what this shift means for today’s Jewish communities locally and beyond.
Yossi Klein Halevi is a Senior Fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem. Together with Imam Abdullah Antepli of Duke University, he co-directs the Institute’s Muslim Leadership Initiative.
Yossi is the author of the New York Times bestseller, Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor and co-host with Donniel Hartman of the Institute’s award-winning podcast, For Heaven’s Sake.
Our curriculum is written for our school by our Rabbis and Director of Youth and Family Learning. Each grade level has specific goals and learning targets that encompass the following areas:
Learning and practicing Jewish rituals, holidays, and ethical actions, emphasizing how these observances connect individuals to Jewish tradition and community.
Fostering a connection to Israel by exploring its geography, history, and significance as the Jewish homeland.
Centering on learning and understanding Torah stories, characters, and teachings, and applying their lessons to daily life.
Emphasizing the importance of ethical behavior, acts of kindness (Gemilut Chasadim), and fulfilling obligations like Tzedakah (charity).
Exploring the meaning and practice of prayer, teaching students how to communicate with God and understand the significance of different prayers.
Focusing on learning the Hebrew alphabet, vocabulary, and basic reading skills to engage with Jewish texts and prayers.
Each grade level explores these themes through engaging and age-appropriate lessons. Teachers use a variety of teaching methods and resources, including the Chai Curriculum.
We are fortunate to have a dedicated team of professional Jewish educators. Our teachers receive weekly planning time, during which they use our curriculum and learning goals to craft engaging lesson plans. They benefit from regular coaching and feedback from our Director of Youth and Family Learning and participate in ongoing professional development throughout the year. Our educators are passionate about their students and committed to their growth and success.
