Emek Hebrew Academy Teichman Family Torah Center is dedicated to offering an academically challenging and strong orthodox education for Jewish children of the community by providing a comprehensive, well-balanced curriculum and course of study in both Torah and secular studies in an atmosphere conducive to learning and success. Our primary goal is to enable our students to develop a direction in life that will reflect the finest character and devotion to halacha (Jewish Law) and Jewish values both in the way our students will think and act. In addition, we endeavor to provide every student with the educational foundation in both Torah and secular studies to be lifetime learners and succeed, upon Emek graduation, in the most rigorous Yeshiva High Schools and other institutions of higher learning. In that regard, Emek provides a rich Torah based environment that offers complex studies in talmudic law with strong emphasis upon community service and proper midos (behavior) in an environment grounded in modesty and respect. Fundamental to our educational goal is the commitment to imbue each child with ahavas hashem (love of G-d), ahavas torah (love of torah), ahavas yisroel (love of every Jew), ahavas habreeyos (love for mankind) and a strong love and devotion to Medinat Yisrael - the State of Israel. All staff, students and parents are encouraged to be totally committed to a love of learning, to have pride in excellence and achievement, and to demonstrating a spirit of cooperation and friendship in support of the school’s mission.
