Created in New York in 2009, the School for Creative Judaism is dedicated to Jewish home-schooling of the highest quality. SCJ offers comprehensive Jewish education for children aged 4-17, including Bar/Bat Mitzvah preparation and services. While students acquire a similar set of skills as in a traditional Hebrew School, the classes take place in the comfort of the students’ homes. The relaxed set
ting strips Judaism of many of its imposing and rigid sides, and allows students to develop a warm association with the religion – on their own terms. At SCJ we teach our students what Judaism has been and could be, and ask them to decide what it means to them personally. On the contrary, we encourage students to have a truthful dialogue about what Judaism, God, the Torah and history actually mean to them. We believe that it is only through an honest dialogue that today’s younger generation will embrace Judaism on their own terms.
