JEWISH STUDIES HIGHLIGHTS
From the time-honored traditions of Judaism and the wisdom of the Torah to the learning of modern Hebrew, the study and practice of what it means to be Jewish begins in Kindergarten and continues through High School graduation. A highlight for Middle School students is the semester long study of the Holocaust and two-week study trip to Israel. This life-changing experience sets the stage for the more challenging Judaic Studies curriculum in High School, which culminates with the March of the Living senior class trip — an opportunity that brings individuals from all over the world to Poland and Israel to examine the roots of prejudice, intolerance and hate.
