👋 A Welcoming Learning Environment

Below are the dates for the 2026–2027 year. We strive to follow the local public school calendar as closely as possible; however, all lessons are subject to change. We encourage all families to maintain strict attendance and participate in outside Hebrew school events.

Additionally, we highly encourage all families to join Shabbat and other community services whenever possible. This involvement offers your children a sense of comfort and belonging beyond Hebrew school.

💡 What to Expect This Year

Our comprehensive program targets key components of character building and literacy:

🥀 Interactive Hebrew Decoding

Interactive vowel and letter mastering paths built specifically to inspire reading pride.

🎉 Holiday Workshops

Sensory holiday programs, festive cooking sessions, and family-integrated celebrations.

💕 Community Connections

We want all families to feel a part of the community. Whether through kids’ events or regular services, we hope you will feel at home and embraced by the Chabad community — from Hebrew school and beyond.

❤️ Ethical Leadership Foundations

Weekly deep-dives into classic values, acts of kindness (Chessed), and global community awareness.
