According to a famous midrash, Abram (aka, Torah’s Abraham) revolutionized theology when he realized that the idols in his father’s “idol shop” did not have the god-like powers ascribed to them. Abram’s wisdom, as well as his hutzpah in smashing the idols, opened up new lines of thought and practice for his time.

Similarly, a number of Jewish educators have been smashing decades old beliefs and practices for teaching Hebrew in part-time/synagogue settings. Much of their early efforts smashed an (almost) singular Hebrew curricular focus on decoding prayers. The results: students’ are reporting positive feelings for Hebrew learning! These educators are now beginning to smash long-held assumptions about decoding’s whys, whens and hows.
