About the Jewish School
of Costa Rica
by Daniel J. Elazar:
"....The principal
institutions of the community are the Instituto Jaim Weizmann, a
comprehensive school from kindergarten through secondary school,
with 350 students. Just about all Jewish children attend primary
school. Most stay on for secondary school, although a few are taken
out and sent to the American school presumably to better prepare for
entrance into American universities. Essentially none go to the
Costa Rican public schools which teach Catholic religion. The school
is organized on a very high level with a relatively intensive Jewish
education program.
Like much of the diaspora, the
community is nominally Orthodox by choice. Thus the school teaches
Orthodox Judaism and is served by the Torah Education Department of
the WZO. There are religious services every morning and until two or
three years ago attendance at Shabbat services was compulsory. There
is a certain amount of social pressure to attend and some 20-30
students do so weekly. They also have their own High Holiday
services. "...
