JEWISH EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
A unique alternative to Hebrew School
Imagine Hebrew class once a week in the comfort of your (or a friend's) home.
Welcome to JEL! We are a boutique Hebrew School experience that was created to service a group of parents who were looking for an alternative to the typical Hebrew Schools they went to as children.
We are an oasis of fun and exploration into ancient Jewish texts made relevant through our unique approach to education. We come to your home, offer small classes with a 1:4 ratio, create custom group scheduling, and work with experienced, quality educators. In this environment, each student truly has the ability to shine.
​
At JEL, our expert, dynamic teachers bring Hebrew Reading and Judaism to life through engaging discussions, hands on activities and so much more. Our goal is to instill a love for Judaism in a positive and enjoyable way!
Our Story
The year was 2019. I was approached by a Mom to see if I was available to give Hebrew classes to her daughter and a couple of friends. She was looking for something intentional and engaging, fun, and hands-on; something that would give the children a similar experience to Hebrew School, yet with the flexibility of their personal schedules, and in the comfort of their own homes.
I went into full swing preparing a curriculum tailored to this group of four, and in September of 2019, our JEL family was born. Over the next three years, this group went on to create a special bond as they studied, investigated, laughed, created, and enjoyed - all in a relaxed and exciting atmosphere.
When the pandemic hit, we continued strong, alternating between ZOOM classes and learning outdoors. A second group joined the family in September 2021, and while the first group graduated in June 2022, our second group
is still going strong.
We are a little secret gem hidden in the midst of a huge city, and we look forward to the continuous growth of our JEL family!
