Rishon Cheder @ MHS

OUR AIMS

At Rishon our aim is to inspire every student with an enjoyable and positive Jewish and Hebrew learning experience each week.

Rishon is led by Raviv Rahmani. He has a team of enthusiastic teachers who, together with assistants drawn from the young people in the community, bring a wealth of experience and energy to their roles. The team are also supported by our wonderful Rabbi and a team of active parent governors.

Rishon is open to both members and non-MHS members.

AMBITIONS FOR OUR STUDENTS ARE:

• A strong sense of Jewish identity appreciating its values, building a sense of community and belonging
• Fluency in Hebrew reading and progress in writing as part of a focused curriculum led by dedicated teachers
• Understanding Jewish festivals and holidays and their significance and associated practices
• Building lasting friendships and having fun with other children in the Muswell Hill community.

OUR LEARNING TIMETABLE

Rishon runs every Sunday during term time from 0945 to 1200. A typical Sunday morning includes three core elements:
