By the time a child graduates from high school, we want them to have learned a variety of things about Judaism; we want them to feel something about Judaism (hopefully something good!); and we want for 9th Graders them to have a strong foundation upon which to continue building a spiritual identity.

Our trip will of course include delicious food, world-renowned entertainment, and It is also important to note that jLAB is not “Hebrew School.” Yes, Hebrew is an essential part of our curriculum, even if the all of the excitement NYC has to offer! nature of how we are teaching Hebrew has changed.
