HEBREW SCHOOL
 

The mission of our Hebrew School is to offer a warm welcoming and caring environments within the Conservative Jewish community and to instill our children with Jewish values, while promoting excellence in Jewish education.

Our vision is to enable students who complete CBI's Hebrew School to:
  • Have a strong, positive Jewish identity
  • Know their heritage and history
  • Understand the concepts behind and the celebrations of Shabbat and the Jewish holidays
  • Have a basic understanding of Tanach (Torah, Prophets and Writings)
  • Understand and feel a commitment to Jewish ethics
  • Be able to participate fully in a service, i.e. to decode Hebrew fluently and to achieve an understanding of prayer
  • Transfer what is learned at school to home life
