Essential JLC
Tefillah & Hebrew
The JLC teaches both liturgical (siddur) based and conversational Hebrew in each grade level. The Hebrew and Tefillah curriculum is specific to each grade level and combines both Hebrew language acquisition and practice for fluency in the weekday and Shabbat Tefillot. Tefillah is incorporated throughout the curriculum of each grade level within the JLC.
Students learn to read, write, and speak Hebrew, through acquiring proficiency in both the Friday night and Saturday morning services, practicing basic conversational Hebrew, and participating in the Hebrew Through Movement (HTM) program.
Learning Labs
JLC learning labs provide experiential learning opportunities for 2nd-6th grade students to learn and investigate Judaism through a variety of different modalities. The labs are created to meet the students at their interests with relevant and meaningful activities that are easily transferable to real life experience. What’s more is that students choose which lab they want to be in!
