Class/Program Descriptions
Chassidus
Chassidus teaches that every aspect of life can be infused with spirituality and that every individual has the potential to connect deeply with the Divine. Through learning the various works of chassidic leaders, we focus on inner spiritual growth and bringing holiness into everyday actions. Students can choose to learn in either of three available group classes or with a chavrusa on a work of their choice.
Davening Preparations
Restroom; prepare the body for davening; karbonos and putting on Tefillin.
Hisbonenus (Meditation)
Five-minute Hisbonenus session.
Eagle/Circle
This is a powerful bonding experience where we all sit together and share what's on our mind and in our hearts. There are times when we will have an idea or theme which is discussed and hear everybody's input and experiences they choose to share. In this way, we build our emotional connection, understand each other better, and reach the impossible together.
Nigleh (Revealed Aspects of Torah)
During the second class of the day, emphasis will be on Nigleh. When someone has a passion and interest for something specific within the Nigleh aspect of Torah, we will encourage it as much as possible.
Chitas/Rambam
This is the daily study of Chumash, Tehillim, and Tanya. The Rebbe emphasizes its importance as a way to unite Jews worldwide through shared learning and to strengthen personal spiritual growth. Its daily study enables one to live with Torah and Chassidus and serves as a source of blessings and protection. Incorporating Chitas into a teenager's daily schedule fosters spiritual growth, discipline, and a deeper Yiddishkeit. Chitas classes are held in small groups, accommodating different learning levels and styles to ensure each student can engage meaningfully with the material. This approach helps students develop the habit of daily study, equipping them with the capability to continue learning Chitas daily even when they are not in Yeshivah.
Sports
Besides the on-campus courts and fields, there is a really nice park a short, five-minute jog away with basketball courts, football/soccer/baseball field, volleyball sand court and tennis courts. Optional activities such as Jiu Jitsu classes and personal training will be available.
My Shlichus and Skill Development
Each person has G‑d given talents that need to be developed into applicable skills. The “My Shlichus and Skill Development” program is designated for just this purpose. Each student will work on whichever skill is needed for him to have his impact on the world and fulfill his Shlichus.
This time slot is split in two sessions: the development of skills as well as exploration of new fields and professions. We will, with G‑d’s help, have professionals give us research to initialize us into his field of expertise. The professional will spend some time with us and present his occupation and passion and give some time for Q&A. He will share with us the Hashgacha Pratis he’s seen and experienced in his life. The student thus has the opportunity to be exposed to professions in which he has potential interest and talent.
In general there are three rooms available to use for this time of the day:
-
Music Room - equipped with microphones, speakers, instruments and a computer to work on music development and learning how to write and produce music.
-
Creative Room - soon to be equipped with a green screen, microphones and computers to use for podcasting, video production and other creative endeavors.
-
Computer Room - equipped with laptops for each student to work on his personal work on subjects including: English, Math, Science, Photography, Business, Economics etc.
Evening Program
Each night the shluchim arrange an activity which promotes unity amongst the school, learning and other great qualities as well as being an enjoyable experience for all. Activities include but are not limited to trivia nights, talent shows, learning a sichah and being rewarded with delicious food, watching a rebbe video and enjoying hot soup and much more.
Cheshbon HaNefesh
We will spend a few minutes each evening thinking about ourselves as we make an accounting of our day to see what is going well, what we would like to improve upon, and plan for the next day. Spending time on introspection and reflection is an important investment in oneself.
Trips and Outings
We plan various weekly activities outside of the ordinary schedule, both on- and off-campus.
Friday
There will, G‑d willing, be a modified schedule on Fridays which will include Shabbos preparations and Mivtzoim.
Shabbos
Modified schedule for Shabbos will include Shabbatons, themed Shabbos, eating with the community and in-house Shabbos (which may include hosting, games, Farbrengens, and programs).
