Our philosophy is that every Jewish child is entitled to a Jewish education. Abraham Lapson Hebrew School offers a warm and lively Jewish atmosphere where children can attain a unique and exciting awareness of their Jewish identity.
               
     Indeed, a child equipped with an education and a feeling for Judaism’s beautiful teachings, traditions, and historical lessons is a child better equipped to face the awesome moral challenges of today’s society.
                
   
 
WELCOME!
Jewish tradition has always promoted a loving approach from one human to another. We are dedicated to making the richness of our Jewish inheritance accessible to the contemporary Jew, every Jew, no matter what their affiliation or level of religious observance.

OUR HEBREW SCHOOL
We create an environment that brings Judaism to life, fosters creativity and supports your child's unique style of learning. We use a unique approach which is hands-on and stimulates your child's intellect. Our curriculum has been designed to make a lasting, positive impact on the life of your child. 
JUDAISM COMES ALIVE!
Through drama, song, art and stories we bring Judaism to life. Our innovative methods make learning fun and memorable. We teach history by showing Jewish history alongside secular history, a method that encourages critical thinking. Through our Mitzvah curriculum we emphasize each Mitzvah's meaning for everyday life, in addition to the how-to of ritual observance. Our Hebrew language curriculum ensures that your child will be able to read from a Siddur (prayer book). More than that, your child will understand the meaning of many of the prayers. No matter what synagogue your child affiliates with later in life, she or he will share the language of prayer with Jews around the world.

  Our school’s underlying approach is for the children to enjoy the time spent so that they are left with positive feelings and fond memories of their Jewish education.  Our program is thus carefully blended with songs, games, incentives, arts and crafts, drama, field trips, family celebrations and other exciting co-curricular activities.
               
     We encourage you to spread the word to your family and friends about this unique learning program and, as a parent, to get involved, ask questions, and keep in touch with our school. You may very well discover that your child’s Hebrew school education at Abraham Lapson Hebrew School will add an enriching, spiritual dimension to the lives of your entire family.
Language
Our students become familiar with the Hebrew alphabet, learn to read, and become accustomed to Hebrew vocabulary. This subject also familiarizes our students with the Siddur- Prayer Book, allowing them to feel comfortable in the Synagogue.
Torah
This subject offers an overview of the weekly Torah portion, its highlights and practical lessons relevant to our day and age.
History
We take our students from Creation to modern-day Israel including the Exodus from Egypt, The Ten Commandments and the era of the Prophets and Kings. We also focus on Jewish life in medieval times, the Spanish Inquisition, the Holocaust and Jewish Heroes of Yesteryear.
Holidays
Lessons on each Jewish holiday with hands-on demonstrations fill the calendar as we proceed from Rosh Hashana through the holiday of Shavuot.
           

Jewish Values
Perhaps the most important component of a Jewish education is the understanding that our religion is based on a G-d given set of values and ethics. Our students learn the Mitzvot and gain an appreciation for their relevance in the 21st century.
Arts and Crafts
We create projects that have Jewish holiday and mitzvah themes and will add an elegant taste of Jewish decor to your home.
Israel
Our students understand that Israel is not just another country but our own homeland. A land that is truly the “Promised Land”, both spiritually and physically.
