What happens when Jewish tradition meets hands-on science? A world of wonder unfolds! At Hebrew Academy, we make learning REAL—Realizing Exceptional Achievement and Learning—by combining Jewish values with STEM education. Our upcoming Moon Quest STEM Adventure perfectly exemplifies how we inspire curiosity, creativity, and connection. A Fresh Take on Rosh Chodesh Rosh Chodesh, celebrating the new month, is a beautiful time for reflection and renewal. It’s also a perfect opportunity to explore the wonders of the moon. Students will learn about the moon, shadows, and light phases through exciting, hands-on STEM activities. By blending tradition with science, we bring these lessons to life in a fun and meaningful way. Learning Together: Tradition Meets STEM Moon Quest is the result of collaboration between our Judaic and science teachers, who work together to create a truly engaging experience. While the Judaic teacher shares the spiritual meaning of Rosh Chodesh, the science teacher guides students through hands-on experiments that explore the principles of astronomy and physics, like modeling moon phases with Oreo cookies and creating glow-in-the-dark lava lamps to demonstrate light properties. It’s a partnership that reflects what we do daily: integrating Jewish values with modern learning. Building Bridges: Tradition, Science, and Community This event isn’t just about learning facts and making connections. Students see how their heritage and the world around them are intertwined. Parents get to experience the joy of learning alongside their children. And together, we build a stronger, values-driven community. Join the Adventure! Bring your family to Moon Quest on Sunday, March 2, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the Hebrew Academy Makerspace. It’s more than just a STEM event—a chance to celebrate tradition, discovery, and the joy of learning. We can’t wait to see you there! Let’s make learning REAL—together.
