Nurturing Religious and Spiritual Growth טיפוח צמיחה דתית ורוחנית We educate the whole child – academically, socially and emotionally, and spiritually and religiously. Our coordinator of spiritual development works closely to reach each student through meaningful tefillah instruction, exploratory services, and a kumsitz, or spiritual singing. At the core of our efforts is the deep, rich studies of Chumash, Navi, Torah she b’al Peh and Hebrew language, mostly in Ivrit b’Ivrit. We offer smaller classes for students who need more support, meeting everyone where they are on their journey.
