Jewish Life at Barrack
At Barrack, students can explore their personal and family connections to Jewish traditions more deeply.
Each encounter with Judaism deepens their connections to their classmates, the community, and their own Jewish spirit and spirituality. Participating in daily shaharit with their peers, celebrating the coming of Shabbat with our weekly “shmooze” at Friday break, and sharing in acts of hesed (kindness) enriches our students' appreciation of their Jewish values.
Our students mirror the world with their wide range of religious backgrounds and observances, from traditional and ritual to cultural and secular.
All food served at school events is strictly kosher, and school events, such as games and performances, don’t begin on Saturday nights until well after sundown. We are likewise committed to creating an environment where students of all Jewish backgrounds feel comfortable sitting together at lunch, collaborating on homework, and demonstrating the respect they build for each other.
