Shouldn’t my child learn to get along with all types of children, not only Jewish children; shouldn’t my child go to school in the “real world”?
An HAMC education does not seek to keep children uninformed of or unsympathetic to the broader world. Rather, it provides children with a strong sense of Jewish identity so that when they enter the larger world they do so with pride in and real knowledge of their Jewish heritage. At HAMC, children are taught Jewish values such as Tikkun Olam (repairing the world). HAMC children have learned to put the principles of Tikkun Olam into practice through, for example, volunteering at a local child care center serving mostly Hispanic children and by delivering food packages to the needy and aged. Many HAMC children interact with children from the broader community in their neighborhoods and through sports and other programs offered by various local communities and private organizations.
