How would you describe your community?
“Community” is more than just our name—it’s our identity. Senesh families proudly represent a wide range of Jewish backgrounds and reflect the multifaceted voices and perspectives of our ever-evolving Jewish community. We are committed to intentionally building this community of students, faculty, administration, and families who represent diversity across ethnicity, race, nationality, Jewish identity and practice, interfaith family composition, sexual orientation, gender identity, life experiences, socio-economic status, perspectives and worldviews. We value the dignity and self-worth of each member of our community. Our community does not just exist in the classroom or the school. We are united by our commitment to raising children who live Jewish values, lead with a strong sense of self, are equipped with tools to confidently navigate the world, and become agents of change to make the world a better place.
