Our Judaic Studies program is a cornerstone of our school's curriculum, providing students with a profound connection to their heritage and faith. Our approach to Jewish texts forms the beginning of their intellectual journey that develops higher-order, critical thinking skills. We offer rich and immersive experiences through diverse and engaging activities. Students not only learn about Jewish traditions and values but also develop a deep sense of community and cultural identity.

In addition, each grade participates in project-based learning activities pairing student interests and developmental levels with Jewish ritual and traditional milestones. Ilan Ramon also celebrates Jewish traditions through regular Shabbat services, meaningful holiday services and celebrations, as well as community gatherings like our iconic Shabbat Under the Stars, festive Purim celebration, and spectacular Passover seders.

We are proud of our deep connection to Israel. Our students learn about the Jewish people’s connection to Eretz Yisrael, learn about its history, and reflect on its influence on our lives today. We make this connection tangible by celebrating Israel’s holidays and even recreating an Israeli “shuk” (Israeli Flea Market). These experiences enrich our students' understanding and connection to their Jewish heritage.
