BE JEWISH – BE INVOLVED – BE HERE!
Tucson Hebrew High is a dynamic credit and elective-based program for Jewish students in the 9th – 12th grade.Tucson Hebrew High is for all Jewish teens, and students span the spectrum of Jewish beliefs, background and traditions; many are affiliated with synagogues and youth groups, others are unaffiliated and find their connection through Hebrew High.No matter the background, Jewish teens meet Tuesday nights from 6:15-9:00, Hebrew for Credit, or 7:00-9:00 to socialize, network, learn more about themselves, their Judaism and how it all fits together (not to mention the great snacks at break!).Each member of the Tucson Hebrew High faculty makes learning exciting with thought provoking, discussion oriented classes relevant to you as a Jewish teen.There are no “because I (it, we) says so answers here!
This year, come at 5:45 to hang out with friends, do homework, eat dinner, or chill with the “Jews on Vinyl” listening stations (also available at break).Pre-paid dinner options will be available each week.
CREDITS AND BENEFITS TO ATTENDING HEBREW HIGH
