School of General Education

The school was named after Hans Rosenthal in his honor. Since then, the students have been studying Rosenthal's history as a Jew and his survival during the Nazi era.

Hans Rosenthal (April 2, 1925 in Berlin; February 10, 1987) was a famous showmaster who had to hide from the Nazis in a summerhouse when he was 18 to 20 years old. He was survived at 62 by his son Gert Rosenthal, who himself has given interviews at the school and says that naming the school after his father was a matter close to his heart. Hans became famous through his show Dalli Dalli.

The Jewish International School - Masorti Elementary School was established in 2018 with the desire to give Jewish children a sense of self-evidence in living out Judaism and culture. In doing so, the all-day school serves children in grades 1 through 6, and the languages of instruction include German, Hebrew and English.

Masorti e.V also offers two day care centers for children. For more information visit the website of Masorti e.V.

From 1890, the Jewish Community House also housed the Jewish Community School. This was crucial to the development of the community, as the Jewish Community School allowed for an autonomous, Jewish education for children.

For a long time there was vehement resistance from the Hanau Vorsteheramt against an independent, Jewish school system. Officially, the aim was to bring the Jewish community closer to the Christian community and to put aside mutual prejudices. At the same time, however, one reason was that the "Jewish youth should give up a number of bad habits".

Erich, Erwin and Max Levi were the last Jewish pupils in Ellwangen. A memorial stele in front of the entrance to the Peutinger Gymnasium in Ellwangen is intended to commemorate the former Jewish students. The memorial stele was erected in 2003.

The Jüdische Gymnasium Moses Mendelssohn in Berlin-Mitte is a state-recognized private school of the Jüdische Gemeinde zu Berlin. With lessons in Hebrew and Jewish religious education, kosher lunch and the celebration of Jewish holidays, the school wants to set an example for living Judaism in Berlin's educational landscape. At the same time, the school is open to members of all denominations and thus seeks to promote social integration and acceptance.

On the basis of a private foundation of the Halberstadt merchant Hirsch Köslin (died 1795), the general Jewish school "Hascharath Zwi" was founded in May 1796. From March 1797 it was housed in Judenstraße 27 - the first Halberstadt school building including a teacher's apartment.

After reorganization of the school, a first class of girls was also established in January 1827. Space became scarce, and so in October 1827 the school was able to move into a second schoolhouse at Judenstraße 18, diagonally opposite.
