Shalom Hebrew School offers the best in Hebrew School education! This creative and exciting Sunday morning (9 a.m.–12:30 p.m. ) program, developed for Jewish children, ages 4 through 12, was designed to nurture the seed of love for Jewish customs, celebrations and heritage.
Shalom Hebrew School provides a safe and secure environment for each child to learn two vitally important lessons:
1. To become a person whose feelings are deeds are sensitive to the lives of other people—a “mentsch.”
2. To face life’s situations in a balanced, healthy and positive way—with a winning attitude!
Children will also learn to read Hebrew. This will give them the tools to celebrate their Bar/Bat Mitzvah properly and participate in prayer services for many years to come!
Children will go beyond the traditional celebratory aspect of their Bar/Bat Mitzvah occasion and learn that it is a special time to embrace Jewish values.
New friends will be made among peers, and among mentors and teachers. Jewish youngsters will come together from every part of the Jewish spectrum to learn about how the similarities and the differences among people can truly be wonderful.
Topics Include:
• Hebrew Reading
• Torah/Parsha
• Holidays
• Jewish Values
• Prayer
Cost is $635 for the year

Did you know the “J” in Jewish stands for Joy?
If not, then you haven’t experienced Aish Denver.
Aish Denver is a place for one to discover greater joy, understanding, depth and pride in Judaism with many different points of entry.
In addition to our friendly Shabbat and holiday prayer services, our beautiful, new, state-of-the-art facility houses the renowned Richard E. Rudolph Shalom Hebrew School, Camp Shoovy, our fun and exciting summer camp, as well as new and exciting learning opportunities, all designed to provide a forum for individuals to explore life’s questions in a refreshing and open atmosphere.
At Aish Denver, we learn. We laugh (a lot). We socialize and make friends. We sing. We ask lots of questions (and provide meaningful answers). We learn to talk to G-d, and we learn how to hear G-d talking to us. We help strengthen the family unit.
We have many experiences that awaken and bring joy to the soul and serenity to the heart. And we have fun doing it. We love little kids, big kids, teens, parents, grandparents, singles, couples and everyone in between.
Aish Denver is a new, vibrant and contemporary center for Jewish life and learning. We offer something for anyone wishing to spiritually strengthen themselves, their family and the Jewish people.

Welcome to the New Aish Denver Preschool!
It is with great excitement that we announce the launch of the new Aish Denver Preschool! After many years of planning, Aish Denver will be opening a brand new preschool this September! The preschool will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., September to June.
Mission
- The Aish Preschool will provide a loving, supportive, safe and developmentally appropriate environment for children ages two and three.
- Using a curriculum inspired by Jewish values, the Aish Preschool will stimulate each child’s social, emotional, physical and cognitive development, while instilling a lifelong love for Jewish heritage and learning.
- The Aish Denver Preschool embraces the philosophy that children learn best by doing; that learning requires active thinking and experimenting, so that children can figure out their world and everything in it.
- The goal of our curriculum is to help children become enthusiastic, self-confident and inquisitive explorers, teaching them how to learn, at their own pace, and in ways that are best for them.
Developmental Goals
- Social: To help children feel comfortable in school, trust their new environment, make friends, and feel that they are part of a group.
- Emotional: To help children experience pride and self-confidence, develop independence and self-control, and have a positive attitude towards life.
- Cognitive: To help children become confident learners by letting them try out their own ideas and experience success, and by helping them acquire learning skills such as the ability to solve problems, ask questions, and use words to describe their ideas, observations, and feelings.
- Physical: To help children increase their large and small muscle skills and feel confident about what their bodies can do.
Health & Safety
- Working with the State of Colorado and the City of Greenwood Village, the Aish Preschool will follow the strictest of health and safety standards, ensuring that each and every child is safe and sound. A sophisticated security system adds to the peace-of-mind that parents can enjoy.
Our Facility
- The Aish facility is equipped with four bright, friendly classrooms, as well as a state-of-the-art, secure playground and playing field. An indoor gym area offers children a space to explore on cold or rainy days.
