The Bergen County High School of Jewish Studies

The Bergen County High School of Jewish Studies (BCHSJS) is not your traditional “old school” Hebrew school. We mix relevant Jewish studies with social and community service activities that foster lifelong friendships. For more than 40 years, through this combination of learning and doing, we’ve helped teens to explore their Jewish identity while furthering Jewish continuity.

Calendar Update on April 27
We have made the difficult decision to cancel the upcoming field trip to the Jewish Museum that was scheduled for Sunday, April 27. Despite our best efforts, we did not receive enough student sign-ups to make the trip feasible. Instead, we will hold a regular class schedule that day. Students should come prepared for classes at Temple Israel.

Testimonials

  • BCHSJS helps keeps Jewish teens Jewish!

    - Susan P. (parent)

  • Every Sunday when I wake up and go to BCHSJS I think to myself that this is a place where I can be myself and I don’t have to be afraid to show who I really am.

    - Ariel S.

  • BCHSJS has changed all aspects of my life, my knowledge of Judaism, my friendships, and my overall confidence as a person. 

    - Cole C.

  • BCHSJS truly made a mark on my life.  It showed me that continuing my Jewish education did not have to be boring. I made friends, participated in many interesting classes and, importantly, rekindled a Jewish identity I’d felt that I’d lost.

    - Jerry V.
