Providence Hebrew Day School:
Judaic Studies
The objective of the Judaic curriculum
is to enrich our students so that the
practice of Judaism becomes an integral
part of their lives. An essential element of
this program is the study of the entire
five books of Chumash beginning in the
first grade. The study of Rashi and
other Torah commentators is gradually
introduced as well as the early books
of the Prophets.
The Hebrew language is integrated into
the curriculum starting with Kindergarten.
Grammar,oral expression and vocabulary are
enhanced by the reading of classical Hebrew
literature and the students' original stories.
Prayer and the study of the prayer book is
introduced in the Pre-K and continues in
each grade level. Students learn weekday,
Shabbat and holiday prayers.
Jewish holiday celebrations,exhibits,
Israel programs, and plays emphasize
the joys of Jewish life.
