Harkham Hillel Hebrew Academy (Hebrew: יְשִׁיבָה קְטַנָּה הִלֵּל) is an independent Jewish Zionist Orthodox Day School in Beverly Hills, California. It consists of an Early Childhood department (Parent & Me through Pre-1st grade), an Elementary division (Grades 1-5) and a Middle School division (Grades 6-8). Hillel offers a comprehensive Judaic and General Studies program and is accredited by the California Association of Independent Schools (CAIS) and the Builders of Jewish Education. In 1993-1994, the school received the National Blue Ribbon Award for Excellence in Education from the United States Department of Education. Hillel was recognized as an Apple Distinguished School for 2016-2018.
In 1948, the school was founded by Rabbi Dr. Simon A. Dolgin as part of Beth Jacob Congregation and began with an enrollment of 37 students. In 1961, Rabbi Menachem Gottesman assumed the leadership of the school, which was located at that time in the basement of Beth Jacob. In 1964, the school moved to its current location one block from Beth Jacob. By 1988, the school had expanded its campus to include its original building and the adjacent property. Rabbi Gottesman led the school until 2003 at which time Rabbi Y. Boruch Sufrin began his tenure as the Head of School. In 2014, Rabbi Sufrin received the Covenant Foundation award for Excellence in Jewish Education.
