BOLD JEWISH IDEA
A Jewish community day school for children with language-based learning disabilities. Shefa is Hebrew for abundance, reflecting our belief that each child possesses abundant strengths. We aim to build upon these strengths while teaching students the skills to overcome challenges in a caring and supportive school community that seamlessly integrates Jewish values and traditions. Embracing families from a range of Jewish backgrounds and practices, Shefa nurtures our students‚ Jewish identity and teaches the skills to enable them to participate fully in Jewish life.
