Dear 4th-6th Grade Families,

We hope that you are all well and healthy, and navigating this challenging reality. We know how important it is to keep our kids engaged in as normal a routine as possible. We want to make sure this includes ongoing Hebrew learning and practice. Below you can find instructions for each grade. We hope you will take your regular Hebrew time to study and practice at home. We will miss seeing you this week!

4th-6th grade will find links to online prayer practice sites along with specific assignments for each grade below. By next week we aim to have FaceTime, Zoom or phone sessions with their teacher to supplement individual practice. Look for a separate message to sign up for a time.  We are here if you have any questions about Hebrew or with any support in terms of navigating this time of social distancing.  If there is anything we can do for you, please let us know.  
              - Rabbi Karen and Rabbi Micah
