    The Beged Kefet Vision


    Beged Kefet* is a community school where students are taught the Hebrew language. Classes are immersed in Israeli culture and incorporate lessons about Jewish holidays. Beged Kefet was created by the community and encourages their involvement and participation. The atmosphere is welcoming and supportive. 

    The Beged Kefet community aspires to lead and excel in teaching the Hebrew language and instilling Jewish-Israeli-American values. The curriculum is based upon the richness and variety of the Jewish/Israeli culture, while deepening one's connection with Israel. The school administration and teaching staff view teaching as a mission and are committed to new ideas, creativity and professionalism.

    *The name "Beged Kefet" comes from the six Hebrew letters that are emphasized (or in Hebrew, get a dagesh) when they appear at the beginning of a Hebrew word or syllable.


    Who We Are


    ICC@OFJCCBeged Kefet* is where your child will understand and speak Hebrew, meet with other Hebrew-speaking children and be exposed to and experience Israeli culture and Jewish holidays.

    Beged Kefet Hebrew School: Teachers

    Parents tell us: "My child always comes home so happy from class with a big smile and passion for learning. He enjoys every minute of it and looks forward to the next class. His teacher is amazing. I can only imagine how challenging it must be—teaching Hebrew to students who don't live in Israel and don't speak Hebrew as their first language. She teaches in an outstanding way. My son loves learning Hebrew, which came as a surprise to us (considering his adamant resistance to join the first class beginning of the year). The Beged Kefet teachers play such an important role in motivating the kids to develop their Hebrew skills week after week. Thank you!" 

    The Beged Kefet staff includes certified Hebrew teachers with years of experience teaching Hebrew both in Israel and the US. Our teachers are passionate about educating, building community and the connection to Israel. Please click on each picture to learn more about the teacher.
