This synagogue searches for meaningful and just expressions of their Judaism in today’s world. They invite you to come as you are, bringing your unique story. They are a Jewish community where music, learning and spirituality come together. They are committed to an environment in which all are welcome wherever they are, or their families find themselves on their Jewish journey inclusive of any age, race, orientation, gender identity, ability, and economic status.

The Tehillah Hebrew School provides students in 3rd to 8th grades a foundation Jewish religion, history and culture, as well as the Hebrew language. This is achieved through class discussion, texts, art and writing projects, as well as community service. Projects extend into its garden, where they undertake seasonal plantings and decorate with their artwork.

The school emphasizes a commitment to community and to understanding different backgrounds, meeting Wednesdays between September and May.

The Hebrew school also offers children in kindergarten through second grade a wonderful pathway into their formal Jewish education. Students attend a monthly Hebrew class on the first Wednesday of each month between September and May, and also attend and participate in the Shabbat Minions class on the third Friday erev/ Shabbat of each month.

Founded more than 30 years ago with the main goal of creating athletes as well as the foundation for them to succeed both in and out of sports.

Classes start as young as 20 months, and continue to challenge them well into their teens in the most modern, fully equipped facility in southern New York state. It is centrally located in Yonkers, the Hastings and Dobbs Ferry areas.

No other summer day program can offer quality instruction by experts in beginner through advanced gymnastics all year long. While their program offers a fun-filled good time, it also enriches the development of children by providing attitudes and skills that carry over in many of life’s activities.

The goal is to build a physical and mental foundation for all sports, and to promote athleticism and good health through participation in gymnastics.

There is a low student-to-teacher ratio. All students are grouped by age.
