Hebrew School
 The
United Jewish Community Hebrew School strives to initiate
your Jews into the study of the Hebrew Language, Jewish culture
and heritage. We view Jewish civilization as a vast tapestry,
spanning continents and time, which each generation joins
and to which each generation contributes. Our goal is to help
our students find their own place in this tapestry so they
can appreciate the contributions of those who came before
them and join in continuing its creation. In order to achieve
this goal, we have created a unique experimental learning
environment in which students learn Hebrew, prayer and the
essence of Judaism. We believe that Judaism's deepest intent
is the marriage of intellectual content and lived experience.
We are committed to providing our students with a learning
experience that teaches them Hebrew, introduces them to the
basic skills of Jewish life and foundations of Jewish thought.
Our curriculum is
designed so that the students learn Hebrew through Bible,
Prayers, Holidays, Jewish Ethics, and Jewish History.
- Our classrooms are multi-age, with older students acting
as mentors and role models for the younger students.
- Our students study Hebrew reading in the traditional
"chevrute" or partnered style or study. They are paired
with other students of the same ability level and progress
as quickly as they are comfortable.
- Our integrated curriculum enables us to maximize the
limited hours available to an afternoon school.
- Our commitment to experiential learning places our
focus on the student as an individual rather team as
a member
of a 'grade' or 'class'. Every Jew is a complex blend
of talents, abilities, interest, and challenges. By
getting to know each student, we are able to place students
in learning partnerships, comprised of students, teachers,
which are best suited to nurture their potential.
- Our time is geared to the integration of academic
content and hands-on experience.
During their time at Hebrew School, students will have
the opportunity to participate in many learning situations
involving the Hebrew language.
