Talk to a Community Member
Bodhi Gemello, Senior, Class of 2025
In my first year at Kehillah, I quickly realized it was more than a school, but also a community filled with students and faculty who are incredibly welcoming and who want to see me grow as a learner and as a person. The skills and characteristics I have developed at Kehillah, such as perseverance and diligence, have helped me in the classroom but also outside of school.
For example, I currently work part-time at Sports House as a party coach and host for kids' birthday parties. Additionally, I am on the leadership board and volunteer at Friendship Circle, and I just finished being a counselor-in-training (CIT) at a Jewish Sleepaway camp based in Los Angeles. I am also entering my fourth year of varsity basketball and second year as team captain.
There are so many opportunities supported by various aspects of Kehillah that enhance my personal and academic growth and I am so grateful that I am a member of the amazing Kehillah community.
Devanshi Chand, Senior, Class of 2025
I’m Devanshi Chand and I am entering my senior year at Kehillah! Throughout my journey, I’ve come to appreciate the opportunities students get to interact with classmates from other grades. I love how everyone knows each other and that we have the chance to talk to new people practically every day.
My favorite class at Kehillah has probably been AP US History because I enjoy learning about the history of the United States. Although the class was challenging, the fact that many projects and assignments were fun and interactive, rather than merely lectures and taking notes, definitely motivated me.
I’ve played volleyball at Kehillah for the past two years, and although our team has had its ups and downs, the community the team has built makes the experience 10 times more enjoyable. We are all friends on the volleyball team and we love each other. Everyone is willing to help out and many players train ones who have less experience.
A significant project I enjoyed working on was the Period 6 Parody song that Raya Farber and I worked on as part of the 6th unit of the APUSH book. It was really fun to make, especially because we got to make a music video and dance, and it was a really good way to memorize a lot of important details within that period.
Jenna Mu, Sophomore, Class of 2027
Hey future Rams! My name is Jenna, and I’m currently a sophomore in the class of 2027 at Kehillah. I am truly proud of this school and the unwavering support of everyone in the community. I have heard countless times when a fellow student says, “This can only happen at Kehillah,” when referring to a community-wide event where people are unapologetically themselves and are applauded for it.
In addition to Kehillah’s supportive community, the school has a wealth of opportunities for rigorous academics. Despite not considering myself a “history person” before my freshman year, world history has become one of my favorite subjects. Mr. Nybakken has taught me how to thoroughly enjoy history through his great sense of humor and ability to make any topic engaging.
Finally, my learning experiences at Kehillah don’t just stop at 3 p.m.; they extend beyond the classroom with extracurriculars such as robotics and the occasional math competition. I am so excited to meet you, whether it’s on campus, via email, or on social media. I hope you too can feel the love that radiates from the place I am so lucky to call my school.
Book a Shadow Visit
We cordially invite you to visit Kehillah for a half day to see what it's like on a daily basis. At Kehillah, we believe deeply in helping students pursue their own pathways, both academically and extracurricularly. With that in mind, you can choose a half day experience in a particular pathway, whether it's the humanities, STEM, or the arts. We strive to ensure that all students at Kehillah feel like they belong which is why we offer perhaps the most unique shadow visit experience in the Bay Area.
