The “Giorgio Coen” Jewish school provides basic training on the principles and practice of Judaism and aims to strengthen the Jewish identity of our children. Led by trained teachers and teachers, it offers lessons in Judaism and Hebrew language, with mother tongue teachers. Lessons in Judaism include, among other things, those on Shabbat and holidays, on the stories of Torah and Midrash, on ethics and the Mitzvot and on the history of Israel. The classes are divided according to the age and level of preparation of the girls and boys. For the older ones, the school also offers a preparation program for Bar-Mitzvah and Bat-Mitzvah.
We welcome students of all levels of Jewish observance and knowledge. The duration of the lessons is 50 minutes.
The Giorgio Coen school is supervised by our Rabbi Joel Oseran, Vice President Emeritus of the World Union of Progressive Judaism.
