HERE IS A LINK TO LEARNING HEBREW
This website is one of my favorites. You can play memory games, learn how to write Hebrew letters, shapes, names, and sounds, create flash cards and much more. It is one of my favorites.

Our school stands on three pillars:

• Jewish Identity

By instilling a connection to Jewish tradition, rituals, Torah, history, and Hebrew, we strengthen a student’s Jewish identity.

• Jewish Community

By making the temple a second home and building lasting friendships through meaningful conversation, engaging activities, retreats, youth group, travel to Israel, music, and art, we strengthen a student’s place in Jewish Community.

• Jewish Faith

By participating in the celebration of Shabbat and holidays, learning Jewish prayer and honest exploration of our faith, we strengthen a student’s sense of awe, wonder, and gratitude.
