WHAT WE BELIEVE

The Chai Hebrew environment is open and non-judgemental; we welcome Jewish families from all backgrounds and no affiliation is necessary. We acknowledge and respect the diversity of our children while emphasizing Jewish values of family, community, caring, joy, tradition and rituals. We believe that more important than what children learn is how they learn it. Our goal is to cultivate our students to love being Jewish, be excited to celebrate Jewish holidays and want to stay engaged with Judaism for the rest of their lives.
