Whether decoding Hebrew letters or reading transliteration, learners of all paces and ages are supported. The class brings in engaging methods inspired by global language learning: think interactive games, small-group practice, and dynamic vocabulary-building activities. By the end of the session, students will not only recognize and understand these prayers—they’ll know them by heart.
