The Abraham Joshua Heschel School (AJHS) is a pluralistic Nursery to 12 Jewish day school in New York City. It holds two central values, pluralism and egalitarianism. Located in Manhattan, the school seeks to follow the example of its namesake, Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel. Other "Heschel Schools" are located in Los Angeles, California and Toronto, Canada. Despite having similar names, the three schools are otherwise unrelated. ==School== The Abraham Joshua Heschel School was originally housed in three buildings: The Early Childhood (kindergarten and pre-school) Center and lower school was located on West 89th Street, the middle school on West 91st Street, and a newer high school on 60th Street (opened in 2001). In the summer of 2009, it was announced that construction would begin on a new building at 61st Street and West End Avenue, adjacent to the high school building, which would house the Early Childhood, lower school, and middle school divisions. The planned new facility was referred to as the "One Campus Plan," and construction began in 2009. The new facility would include space to expand the number of classes in Kindergarten through 8th grade, and the school began running extra classes starting with the class entering kindergarten in the 2010-2011 school year. The new facility, officially known as the Ronald P. Stanton Campus, opened on time for the 2012-2013 school year, on schedule and under budget. On December 18, 2013, the school announced that Columbia Law School Professor (Ariela Dubler ) would take the helm as Head of School in 2014 when longtime Head of School Roanna Shorofsky retires.〔http://forward.com/news/189601/ariela-dubler-named-head-of-abraham-joshua-heschel/〕 In early 2015, Heschel High School head Ahuva Halberstam announced that she would be leaving her post at the end of the academic year to help found another Jewish school with a pluralistic philosophy similar to that of Heschel. She was replaced by Rabbi Noam Silverman, formerly the Principal of Hebrew and Jewish Studies at Gideon Hausner Jewish Day School in Palo Alto, California. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abraham Joshua Heschel School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
