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.
Over 1100 educators have enrolled in the Jewish Education Center of Cleveland's online seminar that teaches the skills that build success as an HTM teacher. Many are members of the "Hebrew Moves Me" Facebook group - a great place to share and have your questions answered. Join us! WEBINAR: Hebrew Through movement IN A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT (JULY 2020)
