Torah L’Kulanu provides a unique Judaic Studies program to middle and high school students as well as adults with developmental disabilities. Our program is designed to provide an individualized learning program, taught in a meaningful way - on an array of Judaic subjects.
Torah L’Kulanu offers small size classes where students work under the guidance of Rebbeim and Morot on goals in Hebrew reading, studying laws from the Mishna משנה, Kitzur Shulchan Aruch ערוך שלחן קצור, Gemara גמרא, Chumash חומש, Navi נביא or specific subjects outlined in their educational plan. Community inclusion activities and life skills are an integral part of Torah L’Kulanu.
The common goal of our program is for students to be an active participant in their own community, whether it is becoming an active member of a synagogue or studying in a yeshiva. To gain an understanding of the practices and tradition of Judaism cannot be underscored enough at Torah L’Kulanu.
Our program offers an enriched curriculum taught by certified special educators, general education teachers and Rebbeim. Our faculty embraces the philosophy of demonstrating the values, morals and ethical behavior mandated by the Torah, both in and out of the classroom.
Torah L’Kulanu offers numerous opportunities for our students to participate with other mainstream schools during holiday programs and reverse inclusion minyanim. Our students are encouraged to achieve their personal best as they prepare to meet the demands of the future.
Torah L’Kulanu fosters a love of Judaism by introducing individuals with special needs to the customs, practices, history and values of their Jewish faith, ensuring and supporting full participation and acceptance within their communities, regardless of one’s age, background, ability or learning style.

At Torah L’Kulanu, we strive to attend to each student’s individual needs. It is my belief and that of the faculty of Torah L’Kulanu that when presented with information at the appropriate level, all students have the ability to learn about our religious life, customs and history. Through a framework of a carefully designed curriculum our students explore the Torah at their own level.
To ensure the best educational practices, supervision of faculty makes certain that differentiated instruction is provided in all classrooms. Through individualized Judaic plans, our Rebbeim and Morot have a guide to support each student’s active participation in all subjects.
It is Torah L’Kulanu’s intent and my sincere belief that when student’s graduate or complete their coursework, each and every student will serve and function to the best of their ability as a productive member of the Jewish community.
