HEBREW HIGH SCHOOL
For those post Bar/Bat Mitzvah students desirous of continuing their Jewish
education, the FJCC offers all grade levels 8th through 12th. Each grade level is
slated to meet twenty times during the year, as indicated in the calendar. Snow
days will be made up if possible.
The Rabbi is the sole teacher of all the Hebrew High School classes and from
time to time his duties may require him to miss class. A substitute teacher will be
provided in the event of his absence. Should, for some reason, it become
necessary for him to miss more than three classes, a meeting of all involved
parents will be called to discuss alternative arrangements.
Hebrew High 8 for eighth graders will meet on the first three Tuesdays of each
month from 4:15 – 5:30 PM. When Life is in the Balance will be used as the
primary text; various issues, such as suicide, euthanasia and war and peace, will
be discussed from a Jewish perspective using both Biblical and Rabbinic
sources. Students will get the opportunity view videos from time to time. Services
will be conducted at the end of each class.
Hebrew High 9 for ninth graders will meet on the first three Wednesdays of each
month from 6:30 – 7:45 PM. Students will view a number of videos during the
year on subjects ranging from anti-Semitism to cults to Jewish culture before the
Holocaust and will be expected to discuss threes videos in great detail. Students
will also be permitted to suggest topics of their own choice from time to time.
Hebrew High 10 for tenth graders will meet on the first three available Mondays*
of each month from 4:30 – 5:45 PM. Issues such as sex, dating, drugs, etc. will

month from 5:45 – 7:00 PM. Students will be permitted to suggest topics for
discussion. Several important books from the Bible - Ecclesiastes and Job - as
well as several prominent stories from the Torah will be read and analyzed in

in Judaism. By doing so, they will gain a better understanding of, and
appreciation for, how the rabbis of the Talmud fashioned the Judaism we observe
today from the Bible and the difficulties they encountered along the way.
Hebrew High 12 for twelfth graders will continue to study material from classic
Jewish texts and work on the creation of a “new movement” in Dusaism, based on
the mitzvot in the Torah. From time to time students may suggesst topics to be
discussed and will view videos and DVDs that deal with current issues.
