Plural of heder, which is a Jewish elementary school for teaching Hebrew and religious texts.
From Yiddish 'heder' (room), derived from Hebrew 'cheder,' literally meaning a small room where Jewish children traditionally learned to read and study Torah.
Heders were like the one-room schoolhouses of Jewish communities—simple rooms where teachers would drill kids on Hebrew letters and Bible stories for centuries before modern schools existed.
