hebrew through movement
|
Since the early-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.
The official HTM website is here - this webpage on the Onward Hebrew site simply offers some key links. Know that a Hebrew Through Movement online seminar teaches the skills that build success as an HTM teacher. And, we invite teachers and directors to join the "Hebrew Moves Me" Facebook group - a great place to share successes and have specific questions answered. |
