Attending Kehillah High this year was one of the best decisions I made in high school. Not only did I continue my Jewish education while attending public school, but also got the opportunity to attend AIPAC Policy Conference, which I will remember for the rest of my life. -Rebecca Burd, Class of 2016
Kehillah High has been an amazing experience. I live over an hour away in a smaller town – Lake Jackson. There is no synagogue, so I have been coming to Brith Shalom for Hebrew school classes since I was in second grade. I have met many wonderful people here throughout that time. However, from being in Kehillah High this year, I have been able to meet even more people from different schools and synagogues. The classes have been diverse and it has been cool to have classes at the other congregations, as well as a variety of other places. I was also given the incredible opportunity to go to AIPAC Policy Conference this year through Kehillah High. There I learned a lot and I was able to bond with my peers more closely. I am very thankful to have been able to participate in Kehillah High. I think this has been a great first year, and unfortunately my last. I am honored to be part of the first graduating class of Kehillah High and I hope there are many more to come! -Emilee McGill, Class of 2016
When David Scott asked me to join the board for a new, community-wide religious school in the summer before junior year, I had no idea what to expect. I soon met Danielle Alexander and the rest of the Kehillah High board and realized the potential that this program had. Over the past two years at Kehillah High I have not only learned about interesting and relevant Jewish topics and their implications on everyday life, but also made life long friends who I would never had met if not for this program. I am so happy that I continued religious school at Kehillah High. -Jake Greenberg, Class of 2017
Kehillah High is truly a place for every Jewish teen, because no matter our differences or quirks or whatever, we are all Jewish and leading the Jewish community together. Kehillah High is something I look forward to every Wednesday, because I get to see my friends, teachers, and rabbis. It's a place to find out which parts of Judaism interest you because the teens have input in what we get to learn. It is a place where I am really happy! -Aryeh Gruber, Class of 2017
My experience in Kehillah High has been amazing. During each class, I learn new things, contribute my ideas, and meet incredible people. -Maya Teller, Class of 2018
Kehillah High is a great way for me to learn more about Judaism. I also love the incredible teachers and feel that I can talk to them if I need to. -Carol Lahana, Class of 2019
