Lessons on Shabbat and on each Jewish holiday will fill the calendar as we travel through the year from Rosh Hashanah through Shavuot. Students will gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of each holiday and its associated traditions, customs and life’s lessons. Music, drama, art and food are some of the exciting and interactive mediums that are used when teaching the holidays. At Chabad Hebrew School, we believe that Judaism is a holistic experience, involving the whole child, at all times. We therefore include in our curriculum special activities which allow our students to bring home

The goal of our Hebrew School is to experience and deepen Jewish knowledge which will strengthen your children’s understanding of G‑d, their identification with the Jewish people, their involvement in the synagogue, their participation in Jewish life and their determination to live as Jews. We need your help to achieve this goal! With your interest and participation, your child will see Hebrew school as a privilege and opportunity to learn about their Jewish identity. Thank you for taking on this commitment and welcome to the team!

The journey of each individual as well as our collective journey as a people are described as part of a greater, G-dly plan. In light of recent worrisome events in the world, Rabbi Bryski offers a classic Jewish formula for optimism in the face of adversity. No matter how accomplished, happy, wealthy or talented you may be, at some point you’ll find yourself seeking a deeper meaning in life. You have read the works of every kind of philosopher, psychologist and spiritualist imaginable. It is time you look within – within your hearts, your souls, your heritage – and unleash the spirit within y

The Jewish people believe by definition that G‑d is the single creator and animator of the world. He has no helpers, no children and no rivals. Just as every individual works hard toward achieving personal perfection through following G‑d’s ways, so is the entire world heading toward a time of eternal peace and plenty. This time is known as the era of Moshiach (or Messiah). During this time, Jews will return to the Land of Israel and rebuild the Holy Temple in Jerusalem (see below). A most amazing feature of this time is that death will cease, and the dead will be brought back to life. Read m

Practical and inspirational articles, pictorial essays and guides on pregnancy and birth - from our Women's site. The Kabbalists say that a person’s destiny is wrapped up in the combination of Hebrew letters that make up his or her name. Circumcision is the first commandment given by G-d to Abraham, the first Jew, and is central to Judaism. Two can become one—when soulmates tap into the singular soul they share. Join us as we explore this quest for oneness, as empowered by the timeless laws and traditions of the Jewish wedding and marriage.

Shabbat: the island of time that defines the Jew’s week. The rituals, the practices, the do’s, and the don’ts of the Jewish Sabbath—and how you can experience it all for yourself. The Mitzvah that binds our minds with our hearts and deeds, and allows a daily reunification within ourselves and with G-d. Tefillin: the what, the why, and the how-to. Jewish Prayer: How do we converse with God? When is the proper time to do so? What's the objective? Explore the world of Jewish prayers -- as illuminated by the teachings of kabbalah and chassidism.

When couples delay seeking help, issues can become so deeply ingrained that they are difficult to resolve. Over time, persistent failure to address problems can lead to irreparable damage that ultimately ends relationships. Rarely is it one cataclysmic event. Rather, between the first sign of trouble and the filing of a divorce is a slow but steady breakdown—a “death by a thousand cuts,” as the saying goes. And although each situation is different, I wonder whether there is some identifiable point when a marriage tips over from being salvageable to its inevitable demise.

A parent can easily say "no" 200-300 times a day to a young child. After a barrage of "no's," a child can become so inured to the pain that he stops listening. Obviously, a parent must set limits, but it is also essential to show empathy as you do so. Teaching children to face life's endless disappointments, losses and frustrations with determination and discipline is what helps them build ego-strengths! Even if they rant and rave and accuse you of being the meanest parent on earth, they will – one day - appreciate the fact that you cared enough to protect them.

The Jews who had returned to the Land of Israel with Ezra and Nehemiah gathered on this day and repented their misdeeds, signing a document in which they committed to trust in G‑d and follow His ways. Among the mitzvot they specified were to refrain from intermarriage and from purchasing produce on Shabbat (Nehemiah 9:1–3; 10:1–32). The weekly Torah reading is what defines the Jewish week, serving as the guide and point of reference for the week's events, deeds and decisions; Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi called this "living with the times.

The following are the rules and ordinances that you must safeguard by studying how to perform them in the land that God, God of your forefathers, is giving you to possess all the days that you live on the earth. You must utterly eradicate their deities from all the places where the nations whom you will dispossess worshiped them, upon the lofty mountains, upon the hills, or under every lush tree. You must demolish their multi-stoned altars, smash their one-stoned pedestals, burn their deified trees in fire, and cut down the sculpted images of their deities. You must destroy the names of these

Jewish women and girls (or men, when there are no women present) light Shabbat candles 18 minutes before sunset on Friday afternoon and on the eve of Jewish holidays, often in the dining room where the festive holiday meal will soon take place. Single girls and women light one candle, and married women light (at least) two candles. The Hebrew term Shabbat was Anglicized as Sabbath. The traditional Ashkenazi pronunciation is SHAH-bus. Sephardim (and Modern Hebrew speakers), on the other hand, call it shah-BAHT.

You did something wrong. Of that, you’re sure. Does that mean you must forever publicly beat your chest to be accepted in polite society? A closer look at the High Priest’s confession on Yom Kippur tells an empowering story about how we ought to look at our past—and our future. Suppose you accidentally left a twenty-dollar bill outside and only after the fact you realized that someone who really needed it found it and bought lunch. Do you deserve any credit? From an awkwardly placed verse in a discussion about sacrifices we learn that yes, such a donation may just be the most noble of all.

The Rosh Chodesh Society's upcoming course, A Work of Heart, flings the cover off the Jewish prayer book, the prayer services, and the synagogue, exposing the beating and beautiful heart of prayer that breathes within. It reveals prayer as an art and an opportunity, a means of human-to-G‑d bonding, a journey of self-discovery, a perspective changer, and an exercise in self-empowerment. Like every specialized art, prayer must be learned. A Work of Heart travels the principles, liturgy, and mysticism underlying the Jewish prayers in a soulful journey of seven lessons.
