Registration is now open for a new year of Hebrew School for children of North Dade County. This supplementary program is designed for boys and girls ages 5-12 attending American Heritage, Charter, Country Dade, Nova, Pine Crest, and Riviera public schools and anyone looking for a once-a-week Hebrew School.
“As was the case last year, the program will be completely free with no cost and no obligation through the month of October” said Rabbi Moshe Kievman. After the holidays, regular classes will continue at affordable pricing with an option for no cost to parents in need.
The program starts Sept. 7 and will meet weekly on Wednesday afternoons from 4:30-6. Classes are conveniently located in Highland Lakes, across from AWK8, just west of Aventura and north of Skylake at Chabad Chayil.
The curriculum includes prayer, holidays, traditions, and Judaic study with a primary focus on Hebrew reading, and is designed to teach each child at whatever level he or she may be. “This program will offer a first taste of Jewish learning in a creative, joyful, hands-on and interesting way,” said school director Layah Kievman. “We try to impart a sense of tradition using modern and innovative teaching techniques. This is a Hebrew School of the highest quality that kids can’t wait to go to.”
According to all studies, Jewish education is a proven factor in ensuring Jewish involvement and continuity. Chabad seeks sponsors to subsidize tuition scholarships for families unable to pay. “We seek to ensure that every single child has access to a high-quality Jewish education,” said Rabbi Kievman. “Chabad is the place to experience Jewish enrichment classes in a fun yet meaningful way. It’s where parents feel comfortable and where kids don’t want to miss a day.”
The school welcomes every Jew regardless of religious background or level of observance. The school does not require membership of any sort as a condition for enrollment. To register or learn about other after-school activities, call (305) 770-1919 or visit HebrewSchool.info.
