Now in our second year and again featuring the Innovative & Fun Aleph Champ Program

Hebrew School year 2008-9 Registration now open to sign up online click here

Hebrew School is an incredible opportunity to inspire future adults with a sense of Jewish pride and awareness.

At JITF's Gan Israel Hebrew School our goal is simple: We want our students to view Judaism in an intelligent, relevant and upbeat light and to be very familiar with the written and spoken Hebrew language. We hope to engage their senses of identity by capturing their imaginations and attention. So, we put a lot of effort into providing our students with substantive lessons and a positive atmosphere.

We are forging new paths to a kid-friendly Jewish education, by devising an original curriculum which projects a clear vision of the students' entire Hebrew School experience. Each step follows a logical progression, creating an interconnected and upwardly spiraling education. Basic topics such as Shabbat, Holidays and Kosher are 'packaged' differently each time they are revisited, so that those units don't seem repetitious. Our Hebrew School also has a special focus on teaching conversational Hebrew and a love for Israel.

The lessons are multisensory and hands-on. The students truly experience what they are being taught. For example, if we discuss G-d's creation of flowers, we use a real flower - not a description,  a photograph, or  even a silk replica of a flower. The classroom representation is as realistic as possible.  The lessons are structured with discussion-starters, to create a lively, interactive classroom experience. The information truly becomes the students own.

Our Hebrew School uses the original and innovative Aleph Champ Hebrew-reading methodology (in addition to some of the wonderful reading aids already available) to ensure that your child will have fun as he/she learns to read Hebrew. At the end of your child's Hebrew School experience they will be able to read Hebrew fluently.

Last but not least: There's really something special about the teachers. They are trained in Judaic teaching programs in the USA and Israel and actually live the material they are teaching - and there's nothing like teaching by example.

The following Hebrew School programs will begin in August 2007:
