Torah Aura – Hebrew Workbooks

This site has a variety of materials that programs might purchase for use to teach Ivrit. This is worth looking at if you are trying to either teach from home or supplement.

I liked the Ot La -Ba Ot workbook for example: http://www.torahaura.com/Hebrew/Ot_la-Ba_Ot/ot_la-ba_ot.htm

Kishkushim – Hebrew Speaking PlayGroup

This group meets mornings and is for babies to pre-school age. (Disclaimer: this group is one of mine as well) The meetings are play time for the kids, relaxing time for the Moms. A traditional playgroup, just with conversation in Hebrew. We have Mom’s Night Out and family events as well. Meetings are held in member homes and/or local parks.

You can join the yahoo group to get reminders of the meeting and locations. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kishkushim/

The group has women from all over the County, Encinitas, Carmel Valley, La Jolla/UTC and more. Its a wonderful group of women and a great place to get advice on parenting, doctors, etc. We’ve even had a few women join us early when they’re pregnant.

Ivrit b’Ivrit – San Diego

This is a program that was started in 1/06 for pre-schoolers ages 3-6. The program is taught ivrit b’ivrit by two excellent local pre-school teachers. Its fun, age appropriate songs, dance, games and art. The program is available twice/week in the late afternoons.

Now the Tarbuton with a variety of other programs for Israelis too in San Diego. The program is re-named Kef Li.
