Welcome to Hebrew School of the Arts, where education is not just about textbooks and lectures, but an immersive experience filled with interactive activities, arts and crafts, and a whole lot of fun!

Our Hebrew school focuses on interactive learning. Learning about holidays and mitzvot can be a breeze when they’re made interactive. At our Hebrew School, we use innovative teaching methods including games, role-playing, and multimedia presentations to keep students engaged. Arts and crafts are a fundamental part of our program. We encourage creativity through hands-on projects which allow students to express their artistic talents while also learning about Jewish history, Torah stories, holidays, and mitzvot. From building sukkot to acting out the Chanukah story, our students get to experience the joy of Jewish traditions firsthand. Jewish pride is at the heart of what we do. We want our students to not only learn about their heritage, but also feel a sense of pride in being Jewish. Through storytelling, discussions, and community events, we help our students connect with their roots and develop a strong Jewish identity. We provide a welcoming and inclusive environment where stu-
