Statement on Israel

At HBHA, we recognize and affirm that the creation of the State of Israel is one of the seminal events in Jewish history. As a diverse educational institution, we honor a broad spectrum of perspectives and experiences regarding Israel, while upholding Israel's right to exist and thrive as a secure, democratic Jewish state.

Rooted in a foundation of love for Israel, we aim to instill in our students a deep connection to the State of Israel and its people, alongside a sense of responsibility for their welfare. Building from that foundation of love, we believe that engaging in difficult conversations is essential and should happen in an age-appropriate manner. As our students develop more complex and critical thinking skills, we strive to provide them with a nuanced understanding of Israel.

Driven by our mission, this approach will prepare them to navigate the world with a well-rounded perspective, grounded in the values of Torah and independent ethical thinking, that will enable them to make a positive impact on the world.
