Judaism through the arts

Your child will learn the Hebrew alphabet (if they already mastered that they will be able to progress in their Hebrew reading). In addition, each week will cover a different area of Judaism including Shabbat, Israel, Prayer, and Tzedakah.
6. Is JUDA a Hebrew school?
No. JUDA is an after-school program. Although it does provide children with a wide range of Jewish knowledge and experience, since it comes after a day of school, there is a strong focus on the creative arts.
7. My child already attends Hebrew school. Will they gain anything from JUDA?
Absolutely. JUDA provides immersive and creative Jewish experiences that work beautifully hand-in-hand with a Hebrew school curriculum. If your child is learning Hebrew reading at Hebrew school, we will help reinforce their reading in tandem with their Hebrew school.
