Hebrew is the language of Judaism, so we want our children to begin learning it as early as possible. Children ages five to ten meet in our Aleph Bet program that emphasizes fun, games and learning at an individualized pace.
There are two tracks in the Aleph Bet program, both meeting on Thursday afternoons after school. Students in the first track, mostly those ages five to seven, learn the Hebrew alphabet through stories, games, magic tricks, and other fun activities.
Students who have mastered the Hebrew alphabet join the Mitkadem program for Hebrew learning that was created by the Reform Movement. Mitkadem students learn to read Hebrew and enjoy a sense of accomplishment as they progress through a series of well-organized, stimulating, and self-paced ramot (levels).
