A Cheder is a traditional Jewish school where young children, typically ages 5 to 13, learn about Judaism, including religious texts, prayers, and ethical teachings. The curriculum often focuses on the Torah and Hebrew language, helping students develop a strong foundation in their faith and culture. Cheder classes are usually held in a small, informal setting, often led by a rabbi or a knowledgeable teacher. The learning environment emphasizes both academic study and moral development, fostering a sense of community and belonging among students as they grow in their understanding of Jewish traditions.
