About
Welcome to Aleph Hebrew School!
Aleph Hebrew School was founded thirteen years ago, with a mission to provide a free, warm and dynamic Jewish learning environment for the children of our community and beyond.
At Aleph Hebrew School, Torah, Hebrew Reading and Jewish Tradition come alive. Our innovative and academic program gives our students a broad knowledge of Judaism and tremendous Jewish pride. An individualized focus on each child, hands-on activities, lively discussions, songs and fun, spark tremendous learning and growth in all of our students.
The program is geared to Jewish children from Grades K- 5, regardless of observance or affiliation. We are excited to be launching our third year of BMC (Bar and Bat Mitzvah Club) geared to students in Grades 5-8. Registration Will be available shortly.
We encourage parents and family members to get involved in the program, as well as our family events throughout the year.
We look forward to welcoming you to our Hebrew School family!
