Welcome to The Merrick-Bellmore Hebrew School Blog
Welcome to the Blog for the Merrick-Bellmore Hebrew School of Congregation Ohav Sholom of Merrick, NY.
We are located at 145 South Merrick Avenue, Merrick, NY 11566 on the South Shore of Long Island.

Congregation Ohav Sholom, The Merrick-Bellmore Synagogue, is a Modern Orthodox synagogue. However, the membership as well as the students in the school Hebrew School include Jews from all walks of life, with a variety of backgrounds, family environments and observances.
Member, non-member and unaffiliated families are welcome to send their children to our Hebrew School.
We offer religious education to public school children ages 3-13 (bar or bat mitzvah). Rabbi Wohlberg established this Hebrew School as a place where Jewish children from a variety of backgrounds, observances and family environments can learn about Jewish traditions, holidays, prayers, hebrew language and Israel.
Various organizational plans for learning exist at Ohav Sholom Religious School. Although the approaches are different, the objective is consistent: to develop small group and individual techniques which are humanistic, which offer appropriate alternatives to the children and which are efficient from the standpoint of learning skills and Jewish concepts.
The organizational approaches which are used with any group of children reflect both the children’s needs, the insight of the teacher and the school policy. We fully realize that there is always the danger of an organization formalizing itself to the point where children’s interests are not really the prime concern. For that reason, we will always examine what, how, and why we are doing things since there are only two considerations we can accept:
1. There is no one best way to do anything, educationally, for all children.
2. Effective educational decisions are collective and involve dedicated staff, sensitive administration, and well informed parents.
