Arts & Culture
Ramaz's arts and culture programs are widely emulated: our students express themselves through choirs, musicals and dramatic plays, instrumental ensembles, the visual arts, and more. Being HERE for the arts means encouraging students to be inspired not only by tradition, but by the world around them and especially by their own imagination and experiences. Ramaz provides an environment in which students can freely and safely express a deeper part of themselves -- surrounded by the cultural riches that only New York City can offer.

Third Graders created art pieces to express the Biblical story of Avram and Sarai's changed names. In response to Avram successfully completing his sixth trial, Hashem rewarded him and Sarai by adding a letter from Hashem's name, "H," to each of their names, thus changing them to Avraham and Sarah. The students commemorated this crucial moment by creating their own artistic depictions of Avraham and Sarah's new names.
