Hebrew schools

Torah study institutions

Hebrew schools are part-time religious education programs for Jewish children, typically held on weekday afternoons or Sunday mornings.

Students learn Hebrew language, Jewish history, and religious traditions in preparation for bar or bat mitzvah.

The term often evokes memories of reluctant attendance: I had to miss soccer practice for Hebrew school.
