Where Jewish identity takes root

Shoresh is a warm and welcoming Hebrew School for ages 5–12. Shoresh in Hebrew means "Root". Just as strong roots allow a tree to flourish, our mission is to give every child a joyful Jewish foundation rooted in knowledge, pride, and identity. We strive to nurture a lifelong love of Judaism and a deep sense of belonging that will continue to grow for years to come.

Sundays 9:30 – 11:30 AM

Sundays your child will actually look forward to

Each Sunday, Jewish holidays, traditions, themes, and values come to life through creativity, hands-on experiences, and fun. Hebrew reading is woven naturally into the program, while children build incredible friendships and discover the joy of being part of something Jewish, warm, and truly their own.

Hands-on & child centered Individualized Hebrew Reading Curriculum Friendships that last

Questions parents ask

Yes! Every Sunday is filled with hands-on activities, creativity, games, Hebrew learning, and time with friends, creating an experience children genuinely look forward to.

Our goal at Shoresh is to give every child a strong foundation in Jewish life that fuels a lifelong love, joy, and pride in being Jewish. Your child will learn about the Jewish holidays, traditions, stories, and values of Judaism, while building Hebrew reading skills through Aleph Champ, our fun, interactive, karate-inspired program. Children progress through clearly defined, color-coded levels at their own pace, gaining new skills, celebrating each milestone, and building confidence along the way.

Shoresh feels less like a classroom and more like the highlight of the week. It's creative, energetic, personal, and filled with moments children can't wait to tell you about when they get home.

Shoresh attracts a diverse range of families from various backgrounds and affiliations, all who feel comfortable and welcome. No previous Hebrew school experience is needed, and every child is made to feel comfortable, included, and at home.
