  Forget everything you know about Hebrew School...
            ...This is radically different... and a lot of fun!

The High School of Jewish Studies welcomes 8th to 12th grade students from the Western New York area. This includes students affiliated with synagogues and havurot, as well as those not affiliated with a particular Jewish institution or organization. The students embrace a wide range of personal approaches to Judaism and have the unique opportunity to meet Jews of various affiliations and to learn about, experience and understand the broad spectrum of Jewish practice.

Jewish Story Telling... Anti-Semitism and the Holocaust... Conversational Hebrew... David Project... Beyond the Holocaust: Stories You Never Heard... Jewish Teen Stress Machine...

          ...and other topics that no one else teaches!

HSJS staff members are rabbis, cantors, educators, and other Jewish role models in the community.  They represent all branches of Judaism and are known for their commitment to and respect for Judaism.


 
 
   Yad B'Yad provides outreach, advocacy and program 
   support that assists individuals with developmental, 
   physical or emotional challenges, who are Jewish or
   connected to Jewish agencies, achieve full participation, 
   membership and inclusion in Jewish and, as necessary, 
   other activities and organizations in Western New York. 

   The purpose of these efforts is to enrich the spiritual 
   and communal lives of the individuals with and without 
   disabilities, by expanding friendships, sharing mutual 
   talents and gifts and fostering appreciation of individual 
   differences.
