Jewish Values

Attending SSLI enters your child into an immersive experience of Jewish life. Here Judaism infuses how students learn piano, biology, history and rabbinic texts. We teach our children to model middot, Jewish values, in how they speak to teachers and one another, how they give back to the community, and how they care for the needs of others.

When referring to the education of children… ‘hinukh’ means stimulating the growth and development of what each child is suited for by their very nature. This quality or potential may be found in them only in very small measure, in total hiddenness, the task of the educator is to uncover it.Rabbi Kalonymous Kalman Shapira, A Student’s Obligation
