Hebrew School
We take immense pride in our Hebrew School. Students are engaged in a meaningful way, fostering a life-long love of Jewish tradition and learning. Our congregation's values are incorporated into meaningful, hands-on, interactive activities, helping to ensure that students become a living link in the chain of our people.The complicated nature of this time during the pandemic and social justice protests underscore the importance of ensuring our children have a strong foundation in Jewish life. A deep sense of history, a millennia-old call to tikkun olam, the repair of our world, and a sense of mission and hope are among the AJC’s most closely held values.
Based on guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention plus local and state health authorities, for the 2020-21 school year AJC student will engage through a hybrid of in-person, at-home, and virtual learning opportunities.
This AJC Hebrew School learning model seeks to complement the local public schools in recognizing the need to remain ready and flexible should the health situation require us either to pivot back to online-only virtual classes, or allows for additional
in-person sessions.
