We Believe

...that we have a sacred responsibility to ensure the continuity of the Jewish people through Jewish education. The school’s motto, Building Character and Knowledge, reflects Reich Hebrew Academy’s vision of offering students a superior education within a value-based environment.  Fulfilling this vision is possible through the rich, dual curriculum of General Studies and Judaic Studies. within an environment of Jewish values such as kedusha (sacredness), derech eretz (ethical behavior), mitzvot (commandments), tzedakah (charitable acts), k’llal Yisrael (community of Israel), tikkun olam (betterment of the world), and t’fillah (prayer), we teach our children to cherish and live in accordance with the faith, knowledge, and traditions of our rich heritage based on the love of God, Torah, and Israel.
