We know that the Silverstein Hebrew Academy is an ongoing source of pride to them. SHA was founded in 1998 to provide students with an inclusive, progressive and passionate Jewish education. Located in Great Neck, Long Island, our nursery, elementary and middle schools currently educate over 200 Jewish children each year. SHA is an affiliate of the international ChabadLubavitch movement, which directs more than 3,300 branches in 50 countries on 6 continents.
