Emet Classical Academy
Inaugural Gala
Celebrating Classical New York
An Evening Celebrating Classical New York & Education Dedicated to Jewish, Western & American Civilization
Emet represents what classical New York City is at its best: a national epicenter of art, culture, music, and education.
Classical education forms the mind and cultivates character. An Emet education is rooted in the enduring wisdom of the Jewish tradition and the great thinkers of Western civilization including the Torah’s commandment to pursue “the right and the good,” Aristotle’s teaching that reason should guide passion, and Maimonides’ vision of moral excellence. Our students engage with Jewish texts alongside the foundational works of Western civilization, allowing them to form meaningful connections between Judaism and the great ideas that have shaped the world.
