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.

Magen means shield or protector and Ephraim means fruitfulness or fertility. Magen Ephraim means the Protector of Fertility. We believe that the Jewish Education of Torah values will protect the fruitfulness of our community’s future. MESA is the acronym for Magen Ephraim Sephardic Academy and also means a high level or plateau. It is the mission of Magen Ephraim to provide the highest level of both Jewish Education that ties to our synagogues and general studies education that rivals the best schools.
