Hebrew, Torah & Holidays

We teach kids how to speak modern conversational Hebrew and reinforce their Hebrew skills for those who have them.

Jewish Holidays are celebrated with Israeli traditions and Teachers include stories from the Torah.

Teachers are Israelis who teach in Hebrew. They focus on building confidence and they are creative and fun in their methods. Each has a BA in Education or in Hebrew Language. (3 have degrees from Kibbutzim College of Education in Tel-Aviv.) They have years of experience in Israel and the US. Several are also teaching in local pre-schools or Jewish Day Schools.
