Jewish History & Culture

Judaics at Levey are studies of Jewish values, culture, and history.

 

Through hands-on exploration of Jewish holidays, Hebrew language, and meaningful traditions, children at Levey develop a strong connection to Jewish heritage while building the foundations for lifelong Jewish engagement. Our Judaics curriculum weaves together the richness of Jewish texts, the wisdom of Jewish values like tikkun olam (repairing the world) and tzedakah (justice and charity), and the joyful celebration of Shabbat and holidays throughout the year.

 

Students explore Jewish history not as distant facts, but as living stories that connect them to a vibrant, millennia-old community. Whether through cooking challah, studying Torah, learning Hebrew songs, or discussing Jewish ethics, children discover how Jewish culture and values shape their understanding of themselves, their relationships with others, and their role in making the world a better place.
