 Since the mid-2000s, Hebrew Through Movement (affectionately known as HTM) has been energizing Hebrew learning across North America. Students run, jump, spin and point their way to learning basic vocabulary used in rituals, blessings, and prayers. Check the "What is Hebrew Through Movement?" video (below) to peek into classrooms. Also, make sure to scroll all the way to the bottom of this page - there are LOTS of resources for you on this page!
