The Sunday morning Hebrew School program is designed to grab your child’s attention through song, prayer, art, drama and games. It also exposes students to the aleph-bet, Hebrew language and writing. The children learn about Judaism and how to read and speak Hebrew in a fun way.
At JITF's Gan Israel Hebrew School our goal is simple: We want our students to view Judaism in an intelligent, relevant and upbeat light and to be very familiar with the written and spoken Hebrew language. We hope to engage their senses of identity by capturing their imaginations and attention. $475 per year or $25 per session.

- A Jewish camp should be a place where children can experience the richness, excitement, and warmth of Judaism.
- A camp should be a place where children learn the importance of caring, sharing, tolerance, patience and working with others.
- A camp should bring out the best in each child’s character and personality.
- And finally, camp should be a truly enjoyable and unforgettable experience!
And that’s what JITF's Camp Gan Israel is all about!
