jewish life

We seamlessly weave Jewish traditions, customs, and the rich heritage of Israel into our daily activities. By immersing children in these meaningful experiences, we ensure that Judaism is not just taught but lived, making it a cherished and integral part of their everyday lives. Join us, and let’s inspire the next generation with the warmth and wisdom of our shared heritage.

hebrew immersion

We offer a unique two-year Hebrew immersion program exclusive to the Wise community. Scientific research indicates that children who are exposed to learning a second language between the ages of 3 and 5 are more successful in learning and internalizing that language, as well as other languages, mathematics, and music. Students in this program attend for five hours a day, five days a week. To maintain the integrity of the program, all content is taught exclusively in Hebrew by native-speaking educators.

“As someone who was privileged to have a Jewish education growing up, Aaron Milken Center excites me beyond words. There is nothing more important than imparting our Jewish values and traditions to our young families and their children from an early age. Our program provides a unique opportunity to help shape our children’s identities and forge lifelong friendships with a great sense of belonging and community.”
