about the judaic curriculum
The Judaic Studies curriculum at Akiba-Schechter is intended to empower students to become motivated, knowledgeable and involved members of the Jewish community. The curriculum’s emphasis on Hebrew language skills will develop the necessary foundation for textual study, a greater understanding of Jewish liturgy, and a connection to Israel, its people and culture. The study of traditional Biblical and Talmudic texts will increase the students’ knowledge, develop their values and sharpen their analytical skills.
As students become more knowledgeable, familiar and capable with the sources of their heritage, they will develop greater pride in their Judaism, a sense of how that Judaism fits into their larger identity, and an increased commitment to the Jewish community.
