Letter From the Director

Shalom,
At Town & Village Hebrew School we have two fundamental beliefs:
Children should be happy and positive self esteem is the most important factor in learning and
Judaism and Yiddishkeit bring joy and meaning to our lives.

Together these two beliefs are the foundation for our Hebrew School. On top of that foundation we have built a challenging and creative curriculum that is engaging and dynamic. We then add caring, experienced and creative teachers.The outcome is a joyful Jewish educational program where children really learn and really enjoy learning.

I invite you to come speak with me. Together we can make sure that Town & Village Hebrew School is right for your family. Our school is small and each and every child and family is important. Come visit and see and hear the special feeling of the Town and Village Hebrew School community.

L’Hitraot (see you soon),
Shanee Epstein

Our Program

• Small classes that are creative and challenging, designed with a keen appreciation for and understanding of various learning styles
• A warm, experienced staff committed to comprehensive learning within a fun and dynamic classroom
• Family programs for Shabbat, holidays and Jewish life throughout the year
