The Tzedek School
- A Unique Vision of Jewish Education
DIRECTOR - HELENA HADEF
Welcome to The Tzedek School! We are pleased that you have taken the time to get to know us. The Tzedek School is not a religious school but rather a school of Judaism in all its expressions. We seek to distill Judaism's central values as a blueprint for the creation of a just society. We believe that the contributions that Jews have made to the world in every field and in every era are a reflection of the values of Torah. We embrace Judaism's rituals as a spiritual rejuvenation for both the individual and for the community, symbols of our core values. We embrace our responsibility as members of the Jewish nation for being a beacon of justice in the world and we support the Land of Israel as the center of Jewish, national identity.
At The Tzedek School we train our students to become a critical link in the chain of the Jewish tradition of excellence, leadership and humanitarianism. We welcome Jewish families of all denominations and traditions and are enriched by the intellectual and spiritual contributions of all the members of our school community.
Please review our program and know that your thoughts and comments are always welcome!
B'todah,
