You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.214.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 January 2025. Your current IP address is 44.214.4.121.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Phoenix Hebrew Academy''' is an [[Orthodox Judaism|Orthodox]] [[Jewish day school]] in north central [[Phoenix, Arizona]]. Founded in 1965 by Rabbi [[David Rebibo]], who has been dean of students since the school's inception, it was the first Jewish day school in the region and one of the first outside the New York area.<ref name="editorial">((cite web |url=http://www.jewishaz.com/issues/story.mv?080516+school |title='Day school culture' dates to 1965 |first=Salvatore |last=Caputo |date=16 May 2008 |accessdate=19 May 2012 |work=Jewish News of Greater Phoenix |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120609220937/http://www.jewishaz.com/issues/story.mv?080516+school |archivedate=9 June 2012 ))</ref> The school has a full dual curriculum of Judaic and general studies.

==Background==
The Jewish day school movement, initiated by [[Torah Umesorah – National Society for Hebrew Day Schools]], numbered 35 day schools in the United States and Canada in 1940; that figure mushroomed to 300 schools by 1965.<ref name="editorial"/> In 1965 [[Joseph Kaminetzky]], then head of Torah Umesorah, recommended Rabbi David Rebibo, an alumnus of Yeshivat Chachmei Tzarfat in [[Aix-les-Bains]], France, and the [[Mir yeshiva (Brooklyn)|Mir Yeshiva]] in [[Brooklyn]], New York,<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.ou.org/index.php/takefive/rabbi/hodu/ |title=Rabbi David Rebibo |publisher=ou.org |accessdate=19 May 2012 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090907051341/http://www.ou.org/index.php/takefive/rabbi/hodu/ |archivedate=7 September 2009 ))</ref> as the best choice to open a Jewish day school in the southwestern US city of Phoenix, which then had a population of 10,000 Jews.<ref name="orthodox"/>

==History==
In 1965 Rebibo and his wife Odette moved to Phoenix, where he established the Phoenix Hebrew Academy, the city's first Jewish day school.<ref name="award">((cite web |url=http://www.jewishaz.com/jewishnews/041112/rebibo.shtml |title=Brooklyn yeshiva honors Rebibo |first=Leisah |last=Namm |date=12 November 2004 |accessdate=19 May 2012 |work=Jewish News of Greater Phoenix |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120609184632/http://www.jewishaz.com/jewishnews/041112/rebibo.shtml |archivedate=9 June 2012 ))</ref> Rebibo's efforts were opposed by the city's non-Orthodox rabbis, who believed that Jewish students should be absorbed into the larger community.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.hadassahmagazine.org/site/apps/nlnet/content.aspx?c=twI6LmN7IzF&b=5763109&ct=7807359 |title=The Jewish Traveler: Phoenix |first=Esther |last=Hecht |work=[[Hadassah Magazine|Hadassah]] Magazine |year=2012 |accessdate=23 May 2012 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120201114433/http://www.hadassahmagazine.org/site/apps/nlnet/content.aspx?c=twI6LmN7IzF&b=5763109&ct=7807359 |archivedate=1 February 2012 ))</ref> Since most of the student body were not from Orthodox homes, Rebibo calmed parents' fears that their children would be "converted" to Orthodoxy by setting a policy accepting children from all streams of [[Judaism]]. In time, some of the parents most active in the school were those who belonged to the local [[Reform Judaism|Reform]] temple.<ref name="orthodox"/>

The Phoenix Hebrew Academy opened on September 7, 1965, with classes for kindergarten and grades 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6. First-year enrollment was 40 students.<ref name="editorial"/> The school's first campus was a house at 337 East Bethany Home Road, where Rebibo spotted a "[[For sale by owner|for sale]]" sign a few weeks before opening day. In the 1970s, the school purchased a larger facility at 515 East Bethany Home Road, its current location.<ref name="orthodox">((cite web |url=http://www.jewishaz.com/issues/story.mv?060602+desert |title=40 years in the desert and counting |first=Salvatore |last=Caputo |date=2 June 2006 |accessdate=19 May 2012 |work=Jewish News of Greater Phoenix |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120609075310/http://www.jewishaz.com/issues/story.mv?060602+desert |archivedate=9 June 2012 ))</ref>

The school's success spawned the opening of six other Jewish day schools in the Phoenix area,<ref name="editorial"/> including a "satellite" school in [[Mesa, Arizona]], which opened in 1987 with 18 students in kindergarten through third grade.<ref>((cite web|work=[[The Jerusalem Post]] |date=8 December 1989 |title=The New American Jewish Dream?

==Curriculum==
Phoenix Hebrew Academy is an Orthodox Jewish day school with a full dual curriculum of Judaic and general studies. A dress code is enforced for boys and girls.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.phoenixhebrewacademy.org/PDFs/DRESS_CODE.pdf |title=Dress Code |publisher=Phoenix Hebrew Academy |accessdate=19 May 2012))</ref> In 2011, the school introduced [[Single-sex education|separate-gender classes]] in Grades 7 and 8,<ref name="gender"/> and has subsequently separated Grade 6 by gender as well.

Phoenix Hebrew Academy is the only Jewish day school in the Phoenix area to serve kosher hot lunches cooked in its own kitchen. Students may bring their own kosher [[Milk and meat in Jewish law#Classification of foods|dairy or parve]] meals, but meat meals are strictly supervised by the school.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.jewishaz.com/jewishnews/030214/kosher.shtml |title=Keeping kosher |first=Beth |last=Olson |date=14 February 2003 |accessdate=19 May 2012 |work=Jewish News of Greater Phoenix |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120610013830/http://www.jewishaz.com/jewishnews/030214/kosher.shtml |archivedate=10 June 2012 ))</ref>
