We are off to an incredible start this year, and these past four months have been filled with so much laughter, everyday play, and amazing growth across all of our programs! Whether students are in our Hebrew speakers track or our Hebrew as a Second Language groups, seeing their fluency and confidence take root is exactly what our mishpacha program is all about. Across our different levels and classes, the kids are doing a fantastic job building their vocabulary and reaching new milestones. Our beginners have been busy mastering all 12 colors and practicing their print and script letters. Meanwhile, our more advanced learners have even dived into modern Hebrew literature, starting with Etgar Keret’s short stories! We've loved seeing everyone engage with immersive, hands-on projects, from celebrating Thanksgiving with a Toda song, to bringing the OR of Hanukkah into our classrooms with an exciting escape room. Between reviewing roots and vowels, solving word puzzles together, and exploring the winter season through music, there is truly something special happening in every single class. Together, we are building a beautiful, supportive community of learners, and we just can’t wait for all the exciting moments still ahead!

At the heart of everything that we do is our passion for education and our commitment to our students

This year at The New Hebrew Program was anything but boring!
In our last class, we cracked escape box riddles, showed off our Israel trivia skills, raced through Hebrew bingo, and got competitive with spelling games (the kids asked for it!) Each group had their own adventures. Different ages and different lessons, and everyone had a chance to shine and show what they’ve learned in their own way.
One of the biggest highlights was wrapping up our family unit by creating our very own board games. Each one was a reflection of what we learned and who we are.
We ended the lesson just the way we like it: with a slideshow full of favorite moments, lots of laughter, and some seriously good ice cream! 🍦
What a journey… Here’s to more Hebrew, more joy, and more moments that stick with us long after the school year ends! 🥂

Yom Ha'atzmaut Celebration! 🇮🇱
What a fantastic day celebrating Israel's Independence!
Our activities included:
Israel Puzzle Challenge:
Kids constructed a detailed map of Israel, learning geography, cities and borders. The joy upon completion was unforgettable!
Symbols Matching Game:
Students matched Israeli symbols with their meanings and discovered their stories behind.
Creating Israeli ID Cards:
To experience a piece of Israeli daily life, students designed their own Israeli identity cards (תעודת זהות), including their names and personal information (all in Hebrew of course).
"Prove Your Israeliness" Escape Room:
Students tackled trivia questions, cracked Hebrew codes, searched for hidden symbols, and worked together to solve the final combination.
The determination on their faces was truly special - with peeking at answers being their toughest challenge! 😄
The kids really appreciated their lasting memories while deepening their connection to Israel's culture, history, and significance! ❤️🇮🇱

Our Passover celebration was unleavened with fun! 😉 We cracked the code of the Exodus in our escape room, putting the story in order, plaguing ourselves with the correct sequence & Gematria of the 10, and mastering the Seder plate foods. The excitement didn't stop there - our Passover Jeopardy game was a major hit, with lively rounds covering everything from iconic figures to delicious (and symbolic) foods. We warmed up our vocal cords and managed to squeeze in the Seder’s four questions. Happy Passover!

Purim extravaganza! We embarked on a fascinating journey with Ivri and Yisraela, who helped us learning the secrets of the year's most joyous holiday.
We transformed into talented directors and brought Megillat Esther into life with adorable finger puppets, making everyone celebrate and laugh.
We tried our luck at a lively Purim bingo, where every shout of "Bingo" was met with exciting cheers. We became creative mask artists, each designing a colorful and unique mask.
Adding a dash of suspense and challenge, one of the highlights was solving clever riddles to crack the code for an escape room, where a sweet surprise awaited us. And yes, we even managed to hang the wicked Haman (puppet) from a tall tree, ensuring a just and sweet victory, as sweet as a chocolate hamantaschen!
The grand finale was to exchange impressive and delicious Mishloachey-Manot, which each kiddo prepared. Yum!

Happy Hebrew Language Day! 🥳
We celebrated the vibrant legacy of our language by honoring Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, the visionary who revived many of the everyday words we use. We discovered that familiar words around us were actually given new life through his remarkable dedication.
Our celebration featured engaging posters that showcased the richness of Hebrew, along with lively discussions about common language words ( גְּלִידָה, רַכֶּבֶת, אוֹפַנַּיִם)
We also had a hands-on session decoding Hebrew alternatives for foreign words—think “סִימְלוֹן” “קַלְקְלָן,” and “מִצְּלֶּה.” 😊
We wrapped up the day with an inspiring video and a quiz about Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, leaving us with a deeper appreciation for our beautiful and cherished language.
Until next time…
