Abstract
This study investigates the characteristics of a Jewish day school in Miami, Florida. The school being investigated is the largest Jewish day school in the United States (outside of New York). The academic setting being investigated is an Orthodox Jewish day school focused on Hasidim (a branch of Orthodox Judaism) and academics. Students and teachers attitudes, opinions and beliefs will be collected to quantify and qualify the characteristics of the organization and its participants. The school being researched is over 50 years old and includes hundreds of teachers and thousands of students. It is hoped that the results of this research will offer greater insight into religious academic experience.
