All students are required to take three years of Hebrew Language, not only as a New York tate Regents requirement, but as part of our Judaic Studies requirements. (See the Judaic Studies Curriculum Guide). They may fulfill their World Language Regents requirement with the Hebrew Regents, but it is highly recommended that an additional world language be studied.
