Chabad Hebrew School Curriculum
Below is an overview of the CHS curriculum. The particular activities and studies your child will partake in will depend on his/her age group.
Hebrew
Beginning with letter recognition, this program leads the students through phonetic decoding, reading comprehension and writing.
Torah (Bible) and Jewish History
The children are introduced to the characters and stories of the Bible. They are given an overview of Jewish history starting with creation to the giving of the Torah to modern day Israel.
Holidays
Hands-on lessons on each Jewish holiday will fill the calendar as we proceed from Rosh Hashanah and the High Holidays through the holiday of Shavuot. The students will have a deeper understanding of each holiday, traditions and customs. Chabad Religious School will also host holiday celebrations for our students and their families.
Jewish Values and Ethics
Using various texts the students will read and discuss stories and case scenarios that have practical application to our every day life. They will understand that our religion is based on a set of Divinely ordained values and morals.
Mitzvot: Why We Do What We Do
Why do women light Shabbat candles? Why is Shabbat such a special day in the week? Why do we have a Mezuzah on our doors? This class will teach basic Mitzvot and provide insightful meaning of more complex Mitzvot.
Arts and Crafts
Art projects are incorporated into our curriculum to add to the excitement for the upcoming holidays and Mitzvot. Our projects will have Jewish holiday and Mitzvot themes and will add a taste of Jewish life to the home.
Extra Curricular
We will offer a variety of extra curricular activities such as special guests, Friday night dinners, Holiday celebrations, and contests. These events will allow our students to experience Judaism in its entirety.
