我们的主程序, “Tal-Am”, is taught in 希伯来语 和 aims to improve fluency in reading 和 writing 希伯来语. Our students enjoy engaging in conversation on many different topics such as; parts of the body, 颜色, 食物, 服装, 天气, 假期等等. Their reading 和 writing skills develop by learning new words every week. 学生被分配“מיליםלהכתבה来建立他们的词汇量. Throughout the week, those words are incorporated into every aspect of the curriculum. They write sentences 和 build paragraphs using the vocabulary words 和 are encouraged to use the words in conversation.

Chumash 在二年级我们学习 לךלך 和 וירא 我们使用的主要程序是, להביןולהשכיל”". Each Chumash word that we learn is broken down 和 color coded by its prefix, root 和 suffix to serve as a visual cue for students. They use this strategy with unfamiliar words 和 are then able to decipher it’s meaning independently. 我们理解 פסוק by reading the biblical text 和 translating it into conversational 希伯来语. Chumash lessons are conducted in 希伯来语 (to further engage students in reading, writing 和 thinking in the 希伯来语 language 和 also to show that the words of the Torah are applicable in modern times).
