Hebrew School & C-Kids

Growing Stronger

Coastal Hebrew School takes place in our newly renovated space. 7740-E El Camino Real, Carlsbad (storefront location).

This month, on Sunday, October 21^st, our C-Kids will hold a Birthday Bash for the ages! Our Club members will party like it’s their birthday, as they learn all about the birthday they never knew that they had; their Jewish birthday. Participants will create their own Hebrew Art Calendar, decorate a framed certificate of their special day, and take home their very own Birthday Box. And then, to top it all off, they will be able to team up with a friend for some Birthday-Pie in the Face trivia games! Yum!

The Ultimate Birthday Bash is made possible by CKids Club—an initiative that inspires children to create meaningful impact in their communities through fun and educational programs that explore the richness of Judaism.

Designed for ages 5-13, the event will be held on October 21^st from 10 am to Noon.

To unleash your child’s thirst for Jewish learning while having fun please check out www.JewishEncinitas.com/CKids.

Give your children the Jewish education that they deserve! Our Sunday Hebrew School offers lots of hands-on activities and positive reinforcement. Students learn Hebrew language skills, Jewish living and observance, Jewish history, and so much more! We include arts & crafts, field trips, and holiday programming to make their experience even more enjoyable. Your child will have fun as he or she gains an appreciation for the ‘why’s and ‘how’s of Judaism. Our students want to be here!

Hebrew school is growing, and for a very good reason. Our staff works hard to make sure the children have a meaningful and enjoyable time. Classes will continue to take place at our newly renovated Educational Annex, 7740-E El Camino Real.
