We have had a great month studying the Amidah, fine tuning our Hebrew skills and having fun playing games!  

I am excited for us to begin our study of the Torah service.  We learn about the mechanics of the service itself and begin our study of the prayers beginning with Ein Kamocha which you can find an audio version of at Siddur Audio about halfway down the page under the title Torah Service.

Don't forget about the Online Resources tab here on this blog which has links to some great sites to practice Hebrew at home.

Wednesday's Class

We dove head first into understanding the way Hebrew words are constructed by learning about the shoresh or root of a word.  Then we did a worksheet which started with a common shoresh and expanded on it to add prepositions, pronouns, and conjunctions.  This is only just the beginning of learning more about the words we chant in our prayers and ultimately how to get more meaning out of them through a better understanding of the language.

After all that hard work we played a game!!!

Great class all.

Welcome!

Welcome to my brand new blog dedicated to 5th grade Hebrew.  I will use this space to connect with both parents and students outside of class.  Please read the About page and don't miss the Online Resources page for a plethora of links to online resources for practice.

Thus far in 5th grade Hebrew we have hit the ground running by practicing some prayers from last year as well as completing some worksheets specifically dedicated to helping students out with some of the trickier parts of understand Hebrew.  Right now we are studying the Amidah, found on page 115b in our Siddur Sim Shalom, and will do so for the rest of the month.
