Philosophy
Greenburgh Hebrew Center is a Conservative, egalitarian synagogue with a mission to transmit our traditions and rituals enhanced and enriched within the parameters of the Conservative Movement.
Greenburgh Hebrew Center's Religious School is designed to be a welcoming, warm and nurturing educational environment, fostering a love of Judaism and encouraging intellectual curiosity. Blending the formal with the informal, our commitment is to provide high quality instruction in an environment that is conducive to Jewish practice. Feeling comfortable with their Judaism while gaining a positive Jewish self-identity, our students will obtain the tools with which they will be able to pass on our rich heritage.
Recognizing that within any given framework academic choices must be made, we have chosen a program that focuses on Jewish History, Bible, Life Cycle, Holidays, Jewish Values, Ethics and Israel. Hebrew will be taught to facilitate tefillah (prayer) fluency to enable our students to understand the prayers and feel comfortable and competent participating in synagogue services here at Greenburgh Hebrew Center as well as in the larger community. Our academic program, reinforced by at-home Hebrew reading practice and regular Shabbat Service attendance, will provide your child with a well-rounded, top-notch Jewish education. Additionally, it will afford our students the opportunity to reinforce and practice all they have learned. We are looking forward to another successful academic year.
