CDS in Israel

Each spring the graduating eighth-grade class of Community Day School travels to Israel together for two weeks as the capstone learning experience of their Hebrew and Jewish studies curriculum.

The trip does not signal the end of students’ Jewish education, but rather the beginning of their lifetime commitment to their Jewish heritage. Twenty CDS graduates made the journey together in June with middle school social studies teacher Chaim Steinberg and Tzippy Mazer, head of lower School and Hebrew and Jewish studies.
