WHAT WE DO

A Curated Curriculum for Today

The curriculum at Magen Ephraim Sepharic Academy is designed to imbue our students with the traditional Sephardic ideals of Kibbud Ab VaEm, Ahabat Yisrael, and support for Medinat Yisrael. We teach our boys and girls proper Sephardic keria (reading), tefillah and ta’amim (melodies) so they can seamlessly integrate into communal life and our synagogues. On top of it all, we emphasize the Jewish values of humility, honesty and leadership on a daily basis to last a lifetime.
