The Yavneh Academy is a Modern Orthodox Jewish day school located in Paramus, in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. It educates students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. The school's motto is "Stimulating the mind, Nourishing the soul." The school was originally established in Paterson, New Jersey.

As of the 2017–18 school year, the school had an enrollment of 786 students (plus 60 in PreK) and 108.5 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 7.2:1. The school's student body was 100% White.^[1] Yavneh's graduating class of 2016 consisted of approximately 90 students.

Yavneh's principal is Rabbi Jonathan Knapp.^[2]

In 2006, the SINAI Special Needs Institute, an educational program for Jewish children and young adults with special needs, opened its first full-time Jewish elementary school program in Northern New Jersey at Yavneh Academy.^[3]

History

Yavneh started in 1942 in Paterson, New Jersey, but has roots going back at least seventeen years earlier. Initially, it had a six-child kindergarten, with classes held in a local kosher delicatessen.^[4] Two years later, it moved to 11th Avenue and 25th Street. It shared its space with the Paterson Talmud Torah, an older, part-time school, that had graduated its first confirmation class in 1925. The two merged in 1950. A few years later, the combined institution bought the Griggs estate and built a new campus, which it started using for the 1954–1955 school year.

Yavneh used that campus until 1981, when it took over a five-acre school campus in Paramus.^[4]^[5] In 1986, the Paterson Public Schools district opened the Rosa L. Parks School of Fine and Performing Arts, a high school, on the Griggs campus.

One piece of the old Yavneh remains in Paterson. In 1971, the Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey, successor to Paterson's Jewish Community Council,^[6] built low income housing for seniors across the street from the Yavneh Academy campus.^[7] The Yavneh Men's Club, forerunner of the school's parents' association, donated two if its Torah scrolls to the Federation Apartments for use in an on-site synagogue. That synagogue continues to function, using the same two Torahs, which were refurbished in 2016.^[8]

Awards and recognition

Yavneh Academy has received awards including: winning the Stock Market Game in New Jersey for middle school students in 1995, 1996, 2001, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2012, and 2016. Additionally, for the town of Paramus’ 100th anniversary in 2022, Mayor Richard LaBarbiera visited to speak at the academy. ^[9]

Athletics

Yavneh Academy has a basketball team and a hockey team. The hockey team won the Yeshiva League 2006 floor hockey Championships beating SAR Academy, and were the runners-up in the 2007 league losing to SAR Academy, and making it to the championship game in 2008, against Moriah School of Englewood. The girls' basketball team won the 2003 championship, going undefeated. Now, they also have a girls' hockey team.

Yavneh's boys' hockey team beat Ramaz in the championship in 2012 by the final of 7–3.

In 2013–14, Yavneh's boys' basketball team finished with a 9–1 record in the regular season. Having secured home court advantage, Yavneh went on to beat Ramaz in the quarterfinals in a 58–44 victory and defeated Moriah 59–39 in the semifinals to make it to the championship game. They lost to the undefeated SAR Sting in the championship game.

In 2013–14, the boys' soccer team had an undefeated championship season in the first year of the middle school yeshiva soccer league.

Chesed

In addition to hosting Chesed Fairs for its students, Yavneh Academy arranges Chesed outings for its students. One such example is Yavneh's participation in the Hebrew Free Burial Association's Cemetery Clean-Up Project (Pictures of Yavneh Students cleaning Silver Lake Cemetery). Another example is the JCC Sukkot program. Yavneh also participates actively in the Salute to Israel Parade on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue. Two years ago^[when?] the theme that Yavneh was given was "Holidays Enlighten Our Lives", and the theme for last year was "60 Years of Patriotic Pride".

Notable alumni

Naftali Bennett (born 1972), Prime Minister of Israel went to Yavneh in 2nd and 3rd grade.^[10]
Eitan Bernath (born 2002), social media/television personality and chef.^[11]

-Yavneh Academy has a basketball team, and a fairly new hockey team.  The hockey team won the Yeshiva League 2006 floor hockey Championships beating [[SAR Academy]], and were the runner ups in the 2007 league losing to [[SAR Academy]], and making it to the championship game in 2008, against [[Moriah School]] of Englewood, which they eventually lost in a close match. The Girls basketball team won the 2003 championship, going undefeated. Now, they also have a girl's hockey team. Yavneh's boys hockey team beat Ramaz in the championships in 2012.  Led by star players Daniel Levy, Ari Fuchs, Jordan Soclof, and Matty Reinhart. They were defeated by moriah in the semifinals in 2013 on a controversial call that ended the season. In 2014 the Yavneh team managed to go 5-5 led by captain Benjy Feintuch, after being predicted to go 0-10. An astonishing and record breaking 28 goals by Feintuch helped Yavneh make it to the playoffs only to be defeated by YNJ by a lopsided score of 12-3.  Feintuch had all three goals in a heartbreaking loss for the captain who was the only sixth grader on the 2012 championship team and was first line as a 7th grader. In 2014 Yavneh had a terrific basketball team led by star captain Noam Kuritzky. Recognized as a top player in his age group Kuritzky lead the team all season with his stellar play and outstanding attitude toward the game and the other players. Yavneh went on to beat Ramaz in the Quarterfinals in a 60-19 blowout and made the championships. They lost to SAR in a hard fought close game to end the season but non the less put together an outstanding season. The team then thanked their outstanding coach, Coach William Calise as they really felt a strong connection to each other for he had been their gym coach for the past 10 years. Led by captain Eric Gulich the soccer team managed to win the first yeshivah indoor soccer league championship. Gulich set all kinds of record that are unlikely to be broken.
