We do this by:

• Welcoming all families, Jewish and non-Jewish, to join us in celebrating and learning about Judaism’s connection to the world

• Reinforcing the concept of Tikun Olam (Caring for the World) through activities both in the classroom and outside

• Reinforcing the concept of Mitzvot (G-d’s Commandments) by teaching and modeling acts of kindness (Gemilut Chasadim)

• Modeling how to treat others (Derech Eretz)

• Introducing ways to respect our environment (Shemirat HaAdamah)

• Introducing Hebrew language through basic vocabulary, songs, and prayers

• Making time every day to say prayers (Tefilah) teaching the foundational idea that G-d created us and the world - then gifted it to us to care for

• Welcoming Shabbat each week and learning about the holidays and celebrating the basic traditions of each

• We observe Shabbat by closing early every Friday in support of families having the opportunity to celebrate in their own way
