The Chumash Vocabulary League (CVL) and Gemara Vocabulary League (GVL) is a creative program developed but the JKHA middle school Judaic studies faculty that presents acquisition of key Chumash vocabulary words and creates a strong foundation in a fun and engaging manner. Students compete against other teams in their classes, culminating in a grade-wide league championship.

The seventh and eighth grade Gemara classes have mastered many of the common words and concepts of the Gemara. With the use of official buzzers and a quizlet on the Smartboard, students battled this week in the playoff tournament. The intensity in the room was palpable, but more importantly, students walked away with Gemara vocabulary skills that will last a lifetime.
