Hebrew school

Hebrew school

Hebrew school can be either (1) the Jewish equivalent of Sunday school - an educational regimen separate from secular education, focusing on topics of Jewish history and learning the Hebrew language, or (2) a primary, secondary or college level educational institution where some or all of the classes are taught in Hebrew.

The first usage is more common in the United States, while the second is used elsewhere outside of Israel, for example, in reference to the "Colegio Hebreo Unión" in Barranquilla, Colombia, or the "Associated Hebrew Schools" in Toronto. See Jewish day school.
