Will your teen be ‘doing Jewish’ in college? Will your teen be ready to face the challenges of American Jewish life? SHORESH HEBREW HIGH SCHOOL is a unique Jewish studies program for 8th–12th grade students from diverse backgrounds attending secular schools in the Greater Washington area. SHORESH builds a strong foundation: to achieve Jewish literacy, to become a critical thinker about our Jewish heritage, to find a sense of shared community and destiny among all Jews, and to meet the challenges of American Jewish life. SHORESH meets at the JCCGW in Rockville on Sunday 6-9 pm during the school year. Here’s what our students say: SHORESH has made me excited about Judaism in a way that I never was before, and in a way that won’t go away once I leave. How do I reconcile my support for Israel with my opposition to some of its actions? SHORESH has helped me begin to answer this question. Teachers at SHORESH are smart and open-minded. What initially started as a forced-by-my-parents program has become one of the highlights of every week. I love SHORESH. Our teachers at SHORESH have consistently done an amazing job of leading our discussions, challenging us to think beyond our preconceived notions, and providing exceptional insight of their own.

TRIO SOLISTI & RICHARD O’NEILL
I’m Orthodox, but I grew up in a Conservadox household. I went to a community day school, I belong to both an Orthodox and a Conservative synagogue, I go to a Conservative camp, and most of my Jewish friends from school are Reform. And in none of those environments have I ever seen the kind of respect for difference that SHORESH offers. Instead of prescribing a particular Jewish worldview, SHORESH charged and challenged me with discovering my own. As we head off to college, SHORESH has given us the solid basis of knowledge necessary to continue to mold our Jewish identities simply by asking us to be available and open to learn for three hours each week.
