Our Judaic and Hebrew program is designed to give children the skills to live their lives as knowledgeable and capable Jews.  Our Hebrew program is committed to teaching Modern Hebrew, a language that is living and used the world over for Jews to communicate.  We enhance our instruction in Modern Hebrew with children having total familiarity with the siddur (prayer book) and exposure to Rabbinic and Biblical texts. 

 Letter and word recognition begin during the early years with most students reading Hebrew by the end of the first grade year.  The Intermediate years bring concentration on the basics of grammar, building vocabulary and writing skills.  As the students reach middle school oral language usage, in-depth writing and reading, word-processing and upper level grammar skills are all part of the program.  Our program is leveled at each stage so that students are learning the language at the pace that is right for them.  Our upper level graduates leave Hillel with a solid ability to converse in Hebrew.

The Judaic component of our program strives to give children the knowledge and skills upon which to base their future Jewish identity.  From learning about the vast holiday celebrations and traditions in the Primary grades to comparative Judaism and the Holocaust in Middle School, our students are exposed to a wide range of topics.  Our program encourages students to think about their place in the world and the importance of maintaining their connection to their Jewish community.
