What Schools, Parents, Rabbi's and Alum Are Saying About Soille Hebrew Day School...



We decided to send out (3) kids to Hebrew Day School because we wanted out kids to have an in-depth understanding of Jewish thought, philosophy, and history….  The Soille San Diego Hebrew Day School is more important to me today because as I grow older, with the benefit of hindsight,  I appreciate the benefit of its Jewish education….  It is a difference maker in their lives.

"When our neighborhood was surrounded by fires and the police said we had 5 minutes to go, my sixth grade son, Steven, took only his Siddur (prayer book) from Hebrew Day School. Once our family was safe, Steven prayed with his two younger brothers by his side. I was so grateful he knew how to find comfort in prayer."

"My son’s love of learning about Shabbat and the Chagim (holidays) at Soille Hebrew Day has inspired my family to bring back Jewish observance in our home.
