Welcome from the Head
Rabbi Rami Strosberg
Welcome to a place where curiosity rules. Where children learn to honor timeless traditions and think for themselves. Where they’re encouraged to ask bold questions, confront paradox and discover new connections. Where critical inquiry feels like fun, and lights go on in unexpected ways. Welcome to a place where students see links between Moses and Macbeth, anthropology and architecture, biology and Bible. Where children understand empathy so deeply that they relate to characters — real and fictional – across every era in time and draw guidance from them for living today. Welcome to a place where everything feels accessible, nothing is off limits and students yearn to engage the world.
Only we are steeped in a tradition of rigor and scholarship, connected to a culture of critical inquiry that is the hallmark of Judaism. We instill in students a strong foundation of Jewish values and traditions so that they are able to confront life’s most complex moral and intellectual challenges. Only we leverage our unique interpretive tradition to train students to think in multi-dimensional ways, encouraging connections across a variety of disciplines and perspectives. We don’t teach our students what to think, we teach them how to think.
We’re more than a school; we’re a place to belong. We encourage not just children but their entire families to explore their Jewish identity alongside their child in an open and accepting environment. Hebrew Academy, celebrating its 50thbirthday, pioneered the concept of Jewish Day Schools in modern America and addressed the American-Jewish converging identities long before it was a national trend. We are excited to welcome you into our family.
