School Philosophy

Spivak Hebrew Academy was established in 2010 as a Jewish Orthodox preschool to directly address affordable Jewish Education in the Los Angeles community. It has evolved to include an Elementary Day School and Synagogue with a designated space for daily prayers. Serving the Jewish community of Los Angeles, Spivak Hebrew Academy works to provide quality and affordable Jewish Education, while striving to teach every child according to individual strengths and needs. Spivak Hebrew Academy began with two teachers and fifteen children. Cecelie Wizenfeld and Rabbi Gabriel Elias joined together to design an Orthodox Jewish Day School with the common goal that every Jewish child must have a quality Jewish education and foundation. The school has grown exponentially to over one hundred students and twenty staff members. We continue to grow and thrive each year as a school and community!
