Striar Hebrew Academy
OUR MISSION
At Striar Hebrew Academy, we build community and better the future,
one child at a time. We embrace Modern Orthodox Judaism as the
wholehearted expression of Torah values and commitments through broad
participation in the world. As a community of diverse individuals with
shared values, our interpersonal, communal, and environmental
relationships are governed by tzedek (justice) and chesed (loving-kindness).
We offer an outstanding education in the joyous context of Torah and
ahavat Yisrael (love of Israel), with equal emphasis on excellence in
general and Judaic studies. Our teaching and learning engage the full
range of our students' abilities, talents, and interests, providing them
with the tools to explore and discover, as each child develops an integrated
and confident sense of self.

Mazal Tov to Dina and Aaron Saks on this well-deserved honor. We are tremendously proud of all of your accomplishments! Dina, as both a skillful teacher and Director of Teaching and Learning, you are a supportive, nurturing educator and the Sharon community is fortunate to have you on the SHAS team. Aaron, we owe so much of our school's security and technology to you and we greatly appreciate all of your hard work.
Dina and Aaron, your commitment to Jewish education reflects the passion that our Wife/Mom/Nana, Rebecca Rosenstein z"l, had for giving her own children and grandchildren a Jewish education.
May our family go from strength to strength!
Mazal Tov to Ariella and Jeff Amshalem. Your work for our school is tremendously appreciated. Ariella, thank you for nurturing a love of cooking in our students. Jeff, thank you for taking such great care of our building, especially by building wonderful musical instruments for our students and putting up the Schach on our very high Sukkah before Sukkot.
Mazal Tov to our fifth grade graduates. We wish you luck on your educational journey.
