At SAR Academy, one of our core values is the love of, support of and connection to Medinat Yisrael. Our students are infused with a love of Israel in our classrooms in both Judaic Studies and General Studies and outside of our formal learning setting—through a dedicated Israel curriculum (developed by the Lookstein Center at Bar Ilan University) taught throughout the year in Grades 1-8 , lessons about ancient and modern Israeli history, discussions about current events in Israel, streams of blue and white clothing on Rosh Chodesh, chagigot, daglanut and a community barbeque on Yom Ha’Atzmaut, a solemn, student-led ceremony on Yom HaZikaron to honor victims of terror and chayalim who have lost their lives while defending Medinat Yisrael, and more.

Our strong love of and connection to Medinat Yisrael is palpable throughout the building each and every day.
