Tachles
The Department for Irgoon and Israelis Abroad has developed Tachles, a conversational Hebrew program designed to teach practical and modern Hebrew for everyday life in Israel. Sessions are taught using fun, game-based, and interactive role-play methods. Participants will learn Israeli slang, how to ask questions, understand the answers, and acquire basic vocabulary!
Shofarot by the Zionist Enterprises department is an innovative Hebrew language program that integrates the arts into language learning, making Hebrew more engaging and accessible. The program uses theater, music, dance, and visual arts to teach Hebrew experientially. Students participate in creative activities, including performances of Fiddler on the Roof in Hebrew, fostering both language acquisition and a deeper connection to Jewish identity and Israel.
Learning Hebrew can be challenging, but the Department for Hebrew and Culture supports you. The department promotes the Hebrew language and Jewish culture worldwide, creating modern tools and initiatives tailored to today’s Jewish communities. This website is for Hebrew teachers around the world to have a home. Therefore, most materials and discussions will be in Hebrew.
