JAMS HEBREW SCHOOL
Welcome to JAMS, an exciting and innovative Jewish educational program where Judaism is taught through Art, Music, and Science
Using a hands-on approach, JAMS encourages self-expression and lots of creativity. The emphasis is on creating a warm and loving social atmosphere where kids can learn about their heritage in a fun and relevant way.
We have a particular focus on children through crafts, song, hands on workshops and drama. Children experience the ideas and ideals which are taught in a tangible and artistic manner.
Synagogue membership is not required.
Our Goals
Our primary objective at JAMS is to transmit the beauty of Judaism, helping the child to identify with his/her heritage, and enabling a truly positive ‘Jewish self’.
Goals of our program:
To foster positive feelings towards Judaism – a feeling of pride, familiarity and love for being Jewish, and a sense of belonging to the Jewish community, the Jewish people and Israel.
To build knowledge of mitzvot and Jewish traditions, Torah stories, and Jewish values, with hands-on experiences and discussions
To gain the skill of Hebrew reading
To encourage students to express their opinions and ask questions about the Torah in today's day and age, finding relevance to their lives.
