Jewish Life

Our students and families represent a wide spectrum of Jewish backgrounds and observance. We foster a welcoming environment where every student is respected, challenged, and inspired to grow in their own Jewish journey.

 

Our Jewish Studies curriculum includes Bible (Tanach), Rabbinics (Talmud), Jewish History, and Jewish Thought. Daily tefillah (prayer) provides opportunities for students to lead services, share divrei Torah (words of Torah), and develop a personal connection to Jewish prayer and practice.

 

The rhythm of school life follows the Jewish calendar. Together, students and faculty celebrate Shabbat and the holidays, observe kashrut throughout campus, and ensure that school programs, athletics, and extracurricular activities honor Shabbat and Jewish holidays.

 

Living Jewish values means taking responsibility for our communities. Through tzedakah (philanthropy), chesed (acts of kindness), and social justice initiatives, students learn to make a meaningful impact both in Chicagoland and beyond.
