Torah Studies
![]() We learn that the Torah is the Jewish people’s guidebook for living positive values.
Our Torah studies have a focused curriculum that explores stories from the Hebrew Bible through the values of our text. Through video, drama, and storytelling,
students explore ancient stories of our people and discuss and examine how
challenges faced by our biblical ancestors mirror those in our own lives today.
These texts hold timeless questions, values, and wisdom, and the curriculum gives students the tools they need to be upstanding people within both our Jewish and secular communities.

Celebrating Jewish Holidays All of our grades are involved in the Jewish chagim (holidays) throughout the year. Following the rabbinic model of PaRDeiS, each grade successively explores the history, customs, and values of the holiday to ever-deepening and more mature levels. While younger grades will focus on symbols, popular story lines, and blessings, older grades will search out historical, rabbinical, and scientific sources, developing a contemporary relationship with each special time in the calendar. Family participation and activities are enhanced with cooking, song, dance and art help to bring each holiday experience to life while at the same time helping to establish lasting community connections and meaningful family traditions to carry forward.

Sababa Hebrew (Reading and Conversational Hebrew Program)
Teaching Hebrew is not a hobby. For Pardeis, it is part of the fabric of our school
![]() all grades. Our method is a secret formula! Our Director of Education, Racheli Morris, a Hebrew lecturer at AJU and CSULB with a master’s in teaching Hebrew as a second
language from Middlebury University, leads the program. Students learn to read and speak Hebrew using the proficiency approach. Vocabulary with transliteration and translation are regularly sent home so families can practice together. Our young students master the
Hebrew alphabet and vowels. Third through seventh grades master reading prayers and texts from the Bible fluently. Our students will explore Hebrew as a living language. They
will be able to communicate in simple conversation; sharing about themselves and the world around them.

T’fillah (Prayer) During Religious school sessions students meet with the Rabbi in the Beit K’nesset
(sanctuary) for t’fillah as part of the school day. They become familiar with the melodies
and flow of the service, the meaning of the words of our prayers, identify values that are
important to us, and feel comfortable in the synagogue as their very own Beit Tefillah,
(house of prayer.)
