Managing Hebrew Through Prayer				Holiday Curriculum

"Hebrew Through Prayer allows us to address what's important in Jewish prayer life. As students learn each prayer, they feel more and more comfortable with the service. One prayer builds upon another until students can fully participate in the synagogue. One of my students said, 'This book makes me feel spiritual while I learn the prayers.'" Jackie Fleekop Director of Religious Education Congregation Ner Tamid, Las Vegas, NV Chair of CAJE Supplementary Schools Network
