Passionate Teachers Who Make Jewish Learning Come Alive

At Lamorinda Hebrew School, exceptional Jewish education begins with exceptional teachers. We carefully select warm, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic educators who are passionate about Judaism and love helping children learn, grow, and succeed.

Our teachers bring Jewish traditions, Hebrew, holidays, history, and values to life through engaging, age-appropriate lessons. With experience in both Jewish education and child development, they understand how to connect with students at every age, ability, and level of Jewish knowledge.

More than instructors, our teachers serve as positive Jewish role models. They live the values they teach and create a welcoming environment where children feel comfortable asking questions, discovering their heritage, and developing pride in their Jewish identity.

Lamorinda Hebrew School welcomes students from Lafayette, Moraga, Orinda, and surrounding communities. Our diverse student body includes children from many backgrounds and levels of religious observance, creating an inclusive and exciting learning experience where every Jewish child feels welcome.
