There’s no school like the Chai High School


So you said “Baruch Sheptarani.” Now what? You don’t really want your Bar/Bat Mitzvah kids completely by themselves from now on, do you? The fact that you are not responsible for their wrongdoings doesn’t mean that you are free from guiding them, right?


Students over the Bar/Bat Mitzvah age face the most crucial times of their lives. It’s a time of exploration, where they shape their personality and turn into adults in front of your own eyes. This is the age for students to continue and explore their Jewish heritage, strengthen their identity, make friends, develop a sense of loyalty and responsibility for the Jewish people and the Land of Israel.


The Dix Hill Chai Center now offers Jewish education of higher learning through the Chai High - Hebrew High for children over Bar/Bat Mitzvah.


Here’s a sampling of the diverse course offered at Chai High which include: Love of the Land of Israel, Mutual Responsibility, Making Choices, Heroism, Leadership, Courage, Tikkun Olam, Social Action, Think Jewish, Changing Mortality, Science! Culture! What can Torah contribute that others cannot, Can Ancient Rituals have relevance today, Can reason define good and evil?


And remember, everyone is welcome at the Dix Hills Jewish Chai Center, regardless of one's level of religious observance. For more information about Chai High, please visit us online at www.thechaicenter.com or contact Rabbi Avraham Lehr at 631-351-8672.


Chai High takes place on Thursdays from 7:00 - 8:15 pm.
