Hebrew School

A welcome from Hagit Moverman,
Director of Congregational Learning

At Congregation Agudas Achim, we believe Jewish learning should feel warm, joyful, and deeply connected to real life. Our Hebrew School is small, allowing us to truly know each child; their interests, strengths, and the unique spark they bring to our community.

Through Hebrew, prayer, Jewish stories, art, music, holidays, and values, children experience Judaism with their minds, hearts, and hands. We celebrate questions, nurture curiosity, and help students discover that their voices matter and their ideas are valued.

As a Reconstructionist community, we honor tradition while exploring how Judaism continues to grow and evolve with us. Kindness, responsibility, courage, inclusiveness, and tikkun olam are at the heart of our learning; values our children carry far beyond the classroom.

I am so excited to learn, celebrate, and grow together with you and your children this year. Thank you for being part of our community and for trusting us with your child’s Jewish journey.

Warmly,
Hagit

With just a few students in each class, children experience meaningful relationships, personal attention, and a strong sense of belonging. Each class blends stories, Hebrew, prayer, values, music, art, and hands-on learning.

Early Childhood Gan (Pre-K / Kindergarten, ages 4–6)

Joyful Jewish beginnings.
Our youngest learners explore Jewish life through play, music, stories, crafts, baking, and holiday celebrations. Children build familiarity with basic Hebrew words, blessings, and Jewish values in ways that feel natural and fun.

The Gan class meets 19 Sundays during the 2025–2026 school year.

1st–2nd Grade

Growing identity and confidence.

At Congregation Agudas Achim, Jewish learning doesn’t stop in the classroom, it grows through shared experiences with family and community. Throughout the year, we gather for celebrations and programs that bring meaning, creativity, and connection to every season of Jewish life.

Tot Shabbat
Our Tot Shabbat meets four times a year and brings our youngest families together for joyful singing, simple stories, and lots of music. It’s a warm, welcoming way for little ones to experience the beauty of Shabbat alongside parents and caregivers.

Check our calendar for upcoming dates.

Havdalah and Shacharit Gatherings
On Sunday mornings, families gather for song, prayer, stories, blessings, and candlelight. These gentle, musical services invite children and adults alike to slow down, reflect, and share the joy of sacred time together before heading to class.

Chanukah Light Parade
A highlight of our year! Students create tin-can lanterns and lead a joyful parade of light, symbolizing how each of us brings our inner light into the world. This magical moment reminds us that even a small flame can fill a space with hope.

Tu B’Shevat Nature Walk
We celebrate the birthday of the trees by connecting with nature and reflecting on our role as caretakers of the Earth. Students and families explore the wonder of creation through blessings, outdoor walks, art, and eco-friendly mitzvot.

Purim Celebration
Costumes, laughter, and learning come together in our school-wide Purim celebration. Students retell the Megillah story, share mishloach manot, and discover how courage and kindness are at the heart of Jewish joy.

Passover Family Seder and Freedom Projects
Our school Seder is interactive, musical, and meaningful. Each class contributes something special: from freedom-themed art to student-written blessings, as we celebrate z’man cheruteinu, the season of our freedom, together.

Zimriyah: End-of-Year Celebration
We close the year by gathering as a community to reflect on learning and growth. Families enjoy music, student presentations, and a joyful blessing for the summer ahead. A celebration of everything our students have created, discovered, and shared.

Come Learn, Grow, and Shine with Us!
At Congregation Agudas Achim, our Hebrew School is a place where Jewish learning feels alive, filled with creativity, and meaning. In our close-knit community, every child is seen, every question matters, and every small act of kindness adds light to the whole.

We welcome new families throughout the year, whether you are just beginning your Jewish journey or continuing traditions with a new generation. Come visit on a Sunday morning, meet our teachers, and experience the warmth that makes our community so special.
