Shalom, Bruchim Ha Baim,
and Welcome to Oakland Hebrew Day School!

Inspiring and nurturing the Jewish leadership of tomorrow is no small feat. In fact, it takes a community to realize this commitment to our children. In OHDS, children, parents, and teachers remain at the center of our program as we maintain a promise to provide excellence in our general and Jewish curricula. Framing this excellence is a guarantee that our students will leave their nine years here with the tools and the integrity to be young women or men who live their life and treat others with dignity and respect.

In Oakland Hebrew Day School, students will deepen their love and commitment to a rich heritage of learning. Our students are asked to continuously develop their relationship with G-d, opening themselves to the mystery and wonder of the world, as they explore the language, practice, and outlook of the two cultures within which they live. They will shape Jewish life, create Jewish culture, and contribute to the broader society.

As you walk through the halls of our school, I invite you to experience the joy of being an OHDS community member. Now is the time. Jewish education has a vast story to tell. Come hear it for yourself.

Mark Shinar, Director
