Our students learn at a young age that the Jewish tradition teaches that they have a responsibility to engage in tikkun olam, the repair of our world, and to influence the community-at-large for the better. Students at every grade level participate in a Hesed Project, giving of themselves to worthy causes such as the Wildlife Waystation, the Jewish Home for the Aging, the Ocean Park Community Center for the homeless, the St. Joseph Center, and International Guiding Eyes. They participate in programs to better the environment and they collect high-interest books to deliver to inner-city libraries.
