Chabad Hebrew School is not a typical school. We understand that children learn through hand on activities and interactive discussions, and we strive to create an environment which is fun and exciting! Kids don’t want to miss a day!

One of the common myths associated with Chabad is that it is a place that is only for religious Jews. Although the synagogue is traditional, and our staff is observant, almost NONE of our Hebrew School families are orthodox. Our students are from very diverse Jewish backgrounds and most attend public school or non-Jewish private schools. Many of our families identify as Conservative, Reform or unaffiliated, but choose to send their children to Chabad Hebrew School because of the excellent quality of education we offer. The range of observance is varied, some families attend synagogue or do Shabbat at home, some observe the holidays, some parents read Hebrew, many do not. When teaching about observance and Mitzvot, our teachers are careful to present in a way that includes all children. Our curriculum teaches personal Judaism, without labels or divisions.

At our Hebrew School, your child will gain a solid foundation of Judaism and Hebrew Reading in preparation for becoming a Bar/Bat Mitzvah. As your child nears their Bar/Bat Mitzvah, we offer comprehensive training in the form of private lessons and clubs as well as Bar/Bat Mitzvah ceremonies which are tailored to each child and family.

Annual Tradition is $660 per student plus a $40 security fee per family. We also offer siblings discount.

Our school welcomes every Jew, regardless of religious background or level of observance. It is for this reason that our school does not require any membership or prior affiliations as a condition for enrollment.

Rather than have a set membership fee, Chabad of Cary relies on free-will donations from the community. We encourage our Hebrew School families to take part in one of our of our giving programs.  Our continued growth is made possible by the support we receive from friends like you.

No families are turned away due to lack of funds. Please contact us to discuss.

Chabad Hebrew School uses the highly motivational Aleph Champ program to teach Hebrew reading. With the Aleph Champ program, reading has never been this fun!! Beginner students begin by being introduced to the letters of the Aleph Bet. They will spend a great deal of time on letter recognition through exercises and games to ensure that their foundation in Hebrew reading is solid. After they master the Aleph Bet, they will begin learning the Nikudot (Vowels),  focusing on recognizing the names, appearance and sounds of the Nikudot.

One of the many advantages of this program is how it allows each child to progress at his or her pace.

As children master Hebrew Reading, they will advance to our advanced classes that focus on fluency and Hebrew Compression with Morah Samra Nissan

Chabad is a community organization dedicated to helping every Jew, regardless of background, affiliation, or personal level of observance. Chabad invites you to explore and experience all areas of Jewish religion, tradition, and practice in an open-minded and non-judgmental atmosphere. All of Chabad’s classes, programs, and services are designed to heighten the awareness and lend valuable insight into one’s heritage, traditions, religious practice, laws and rituals. Each individual is invited to participate, study, and learn. Each individual makes his or her own respective religious lifestyle decisions at his or her own pace, and each mitzvah stands on its own as an important step in one’s personal growth. Chabad is inclusive and nonjudgmental, and our programs are open to all Jews. In fact, the majority of people who participate in programs at Chabad are not Orthodox. The teachings of Chabad are imbued with the renowned Chassidic spirit and joy, but in no way is the commitment to an Orthodox lifestyle a prerequisite to one’s acceptance at Chabad functions.
