Judaic Curriculum:
At Cheder Chabad, our Talmidim receive a wholesome, Chassidishe Chinuch in a safe and supportive environment. Our focus is on the whole child, and we seek to guide each student in developing his maximum potential על פי דרכו. We strive to ensure that every child feels happy coming to Cheder and that his needs are being met emotionally as well as academically. The primary goal of Cheder is to instill in our Talmidim יראת שמים, Chassidishe values, a love for Hashem and a lifelong commitment to Torah and Mitzvos.
Our Kodesh curriculum begins with Kriah, ensuring that Talmidim have the foundational tools to learn and daven. Kriah teachers offer extra support when needed. Yiddish is introduced and Dikduk is taught. The students progress from Chumash to Mishnayos and then Gemarah with a strong focus on developing the skills they need to become lifelong independent learners. We inspire our students to follow the teachings of the Rebbe and Chassidus, through learning Tanya, Likkutei Sichos and warm Chassidishe Farbrengens throughout the year.
