New things on the horizon at Chabad of Merrick-Bellmore-Wantagh's Hebrew School

The Chabad Hebrew School of Merrick, Bellmore and Wantagh is now accepting enrollments for the 2024-25 academic year. The school offers an innovative and interactive program that brings Jewish heritage to life, providing a dynamic, hands-on learning experience for children from Pre-K through 7th grade. Classes are available on Sunday mornings from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., or Wednesday afternoons from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

“Chabad Hebrew School is where Judaism comes alive for our students,” Educational Directors Rabbi Shimon and Chanie Kramer said. “The curriculum is crafted to inspire children with a deep love and joy for Jewish traditions.”

At the Hebrew School, students explore Jewish practices, history, culture, and Hebrew language skills in an engaging environment. The unique Hebrew reading curriculum, Aleph Champ, is modeled after the Karate belt system, motivating students to advance through color-coded levels as they master Hebrew reading.

The school welcomes all Jewish children, regardless of background, affiliation, or financial status, to learn about Jewish culture, holidays, customs, and traditions presented in a fun and stimulating way.

This year, school is excited to share it is joining the Ckids Club, a program that incorporates creative activities designed to inspire children to make a meaningful impact in their communities while exploring the richness of Judaism.

The school year will begin with the first Ckids Club event, Rosh Hashana Airlines. Students will embark on an exciting adventure filled with fun and creativity. Each student will receive a fanny pack and luggage tags as they prepare to soar into the New Year, ready for an academic year packed with Jewish discovery and joy.
