Where Judaism Comes Alive!

About Chabad Neshama Hebrew School

Our philosophy is that every Jewish child is entitled to a Jewish education. To achieve this goal, we have opened a Hebrew school in Brighton Beach to bring this opportunity to the children of our community.

Chabad Neshama Hebrew School offers a warm and lively Jewish atmosphere where children can attain a unique and exciting awareness of their Jewish identity.

At Chabad Neshama Hebrew School, we endeavor that our students should…

  • Attain a strong sense of love of Judaism and pride in being Jewish.
  • Discover and explore the Torah, the incredible history of the Jewish people, and see its relevance in today’s day and age.
  • Gain an understanding of the practices and traditions of Judaism.
  • Know the morals, values, and ethical behavior mandated by the Torah.
  • Have a hands-on experience and appreciation for all Jewish holidays.
  • Master Hebrew skills of reading and writing.
  • Understand basic Hebrew words.
  • Learn basic prayers so that students will feel comfortable when attending services.
  • Identify with the Land of Israel and its inhabitants.
  • Participate in incredible karate classes based on our Aleph Bet learning system.
  • Express their opinions and questions about G‑d, Torah, and religion.

Indeed, a child equipped with an education and a feeling for Judaism’s beautiful teachings, traditions, and historical lessons is a child better equipped to face the awesome moral challenges of today’s society.

Our school’s underlying approach is for children to enjoy the time they spend with us so that they are left with positive feelings and fond memories of their Jewish education. Our program is carefully blended with songs, games, incentives, arts and crafts, drama, field trips, family celebrations, and other exciting co-curricular activities.

With our theme of “Root for Our Roots,” we share the message that each of us needs to cheer, root for, and support the idea of returning to our roots and source—the Torah, where it all began. This is exactly what we strive for at Chabad Neshama Hebrew School!
