BOOK 1 Hineni—The New Hebrew Through Prayer See sample pages & learn more about this book!

Beginning with the opening prayers in the Shabbat Morning Service, students use their growing skills to learn the meaning of the prayers. They continue with prayers and blessings for the home, including Shabbat and the holidays (sitting in the sukkah, lighting Hanukkah candles, eating matzah). allowing them to "bring home" to their families their new Hebrew skills.

Students examine the themes of the prayers and their links to Jewish values (they learn the root koof, dalet, shin and examine what it means to be "holy" they learn the key word zikaron in the chapter on Kiddush and connect it to Yom Hazikaron; they learn the brachah "formula" and discuss how a blessing helps us pause to appreciate God's world). And they are challenged with analytical questions ("Why do you think Ma'ariv Aravim and Yotzer Or include so many words that mean 'create'? What does that tell us about God?")

Students see several prayers (Shema, Ve'ahavta, Mi Chamochah) in their original context--the actual page from the Torah.

Students learn 70 key prayer words, and 17 roots, prefixes, and suffixes.
