Unlocking Jewish Pride: Our Interactive and Fun Hebrew School 

November 2023

Leah Levin, Director Hebrew School of the Arts. Co-Director Ballantyne Jewish Center

Are you ready to embark on a journey of learning, discovery, and Jewish pride? 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 is more than just a place to learn how to read Hebrew. We believe in fostering a deep connection to Jewish traditions, customs, and identity. Our curriculum is designed to make every lesson engaging and memorable.

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 students can make lifelong friends who share their Jewish journey. We organize family events, field trips, and social gatherings to strengthen these bonds. At Hebrew School of the Arts, we create a space where Jewish children can thrive, learn, and develop a deep sense of pride in their heritage. We are dedicated to nurturing the next generation of proud, knowledgeable, and engaged Jews. Join us on this

exciting journey of learning, creativity, and Jewish identity, and watch your child flourish in a vibrant and supportive community. Come be a part of our Hebrew School family and let the adventure begin!
