#OnwardHebrew is a fast-growing movement spearheaded by Jewish education directors motivated to address the challenges of Hebrew learning in their part-time/ congregational programs. In the fall of 2017, there were just five synagogues using #OnwardHebrew's sound-to-print approach. Now, five years later (August 2024), 64 educational programs are officially "On-the-Way" or "All In" with #OnwardHebrew, impacting over 10,000 children.
#OnwardHebrew offers a plethora of resources to support YOUR personal exploration and (hopefully) experimentation. We invite you to consider the experiences of colleagues and benefit from a wide variety of articles, documents and other supports. Come join the conversation - here on this website, as well as on our Facebook group. In addition, we invite you to speak one-on-one with Nachama, the #OnwardHebrew director, to get your specific questions answered - be in touch by writing to OnwardHebrew@ gmail.com. |
