Plural of 'heder': Jewish elementary schools, historically found in Eastern Europe, where children learned Hebrew and religious texts.
From Hebrew 'cheder' (room), plural 'chadarim.' The word literally means 'rooms' and referred to small, often single-room schoolhouses where Jewish children received their primary education.
Hadarim were like the original Zoom classrooms—often just one teacher in a small room with students of multiple ages learning together, a system that survived centuries because it worked despite its simplicity!
