Chavaya Film Showcase 2020
This year, each of Hebrew school classes learned about various Jewish topics through the art of film making. In the fall, students learned to story board, write scripts and developed a project unique to their class. In the spring, each class used their skills to create their own films. Although we had to end Hebrew school a tad early this year, we are so grateful that our Arts teacher, Ms. Delaney, could complete editing of these films to showcase for all. Take a look!

About Chavaya
Chavaya is a Hebrew school program based on fun, experiential learning techniques that support our students in developing a love of Jewish life and learning. The curriculum includes Hebrew and prayer, Torah, Jewish food, Jewish history, the Jewish lifecycle, Shabbat, holidays, Jewish ethics and a variety of special topics.
Our growing program of more than 50 students do more than study the basics of Hebrew prayer. Our students are guided by a curriculum centered on experiential learning and a passion for the Jewish culture and language. Chavaya celebrates the joys of the Jewish calendar with plenty of hands-on activities. In past years, Chavaya students have made their own terrariums for Tu B’shevat, fermented their own pickles for the B'nai Israel Jewish Food Festival, made creative dioramas of several Jewish communities, and participated in a special youth oriented seder for Passover with Rabbi Kaiman.
Chavaya aims to strengthen our students’ connection to the Hebrew language through a variety of means. Our 2nd-7th grade students study Hebrew through the multileveled curriculum called Mitkadem. Our K-1st grade students learn the basics of the AlefBet through multisensory lessons that incorporate Hebrew Through Movement.
