Philosophy
We see our task as empowering our children to live more meaningful Jewish lives. We believe that all exposure to education in formal or informal settings, and in conjunction with family and home, should create positive Jewish memories and meaningful Jewish experiences for children.

OUR GOALS
The Chai program (operated by Beth Torah Benny Rok Campus) strives to provide top-quality Jewish after school education that helps our children develop positive attitudes toward their Judaism and gives them a sense of commitment to their tradition and heritage.
At the end of their educational process, students should be able to feel connected to “Klal Israel“(Jewish People), American society and the State of Israel as entities that require their love and commitment.
Through formal and informal activities, it is our goal that students will create new social Jewish networks, enabling them to widen their existing social networks from school.
Culturally we strive to infuse art, music, celebration, food, and terminologies that are common in Jewish culture.
