Rashi School

The school is named after Shlomo Yitzchaki, an Ashkenazi rabbi who is typically known today by the acronym Rashi. He was a medieval French rabbi and author of a comprehensive commentary on the Talmud and Torah. ==History==

In 1982, Rabbi Henry Zoob formed a committee to explore interest in a Jewish Reform day school. After a four-year planning process, the Rashi School opened in 1986, enrolling 16 students in kindergarten and first grade. In 1999, the Rashi School introduced its core values: Ruach (Spirit), Kavod (Respect), Kehillah (Community), Tzedek (Justice), and Limud (Learning). In 2006, the school's eighth-grade class took its first trip to Israel. The trip is now an annual tradition and a culminating event of Jewish Studies at the Rashi School. In 2010, The Rashi School moved to its permanent campus in a wooded 162 acre site on the banks of the Charles River, within Newbridge on the Charles Campus for Hebrew Senior Life. == Location ==
