I've spoken with hundreds of learners over the past few years, and over 80% start learning Hebrew with Duolingo. Every single person reports that despite months of effort, they are unable to form even a basic Hebrew sentence! Sound familiar?

I understand the appeal—Duolingo is accessible, budget-friendly, and feels like a game. But let's talk about the real cost when you expect these apps to teach you Hebrew: You're investing your most precious resources! Your time, motivation, and hope in a learning tool that - in all my discussions -

Not one student has said, “Thanks to Duolingo, I'm now speaking Hebrew”, or “I understand Hebrew because of Duolingo”. Not a single person, and I've talked to so many...

In these challenging times, where narratives are twisted and historical truths are overshadowed, it's more important than ever to remember the enduring bond between the Jewish people, the Hebrew language, and the land of Israel.

This connection isn't merely historical; it's a pulsating lifeline that has nourished a culture, a language, and a civilization through millennia.

Israel stands not only as a geographical entity but as a beacon of continuous innovation, humanitarian aid, and cultural wealth that contributes vastly to global progress

The people of Israel, resilient and diverse, embody the essence of survival and revival. From reviving an ancient language to leading advancements in technology and medicine, our impact resonates worldwide, transcending the borders of our small country

Together, we stand not just with a country, but with a living, thriving testament to what humanity can achieve when rooted in unity, history, and hope.

This is the common phrase we Israelis use when speaking of our sons and daughters returning from captivity or expressing the wish for that to happen.

This is a very respectful and common phrase you can use when communicating with Israelis or Hebrew speakers on the subject.

Now, these days we are witnessing the return of kidnapped Israelis to be buried rather than live their lives.

Each news of another body being returned for burial is heartbreaking. However, in Jewish and Israeli culture, there is great significance to having a burial and a body returned to its homeland.

As horrific as all of this is, there may be some consolation to the families who are able to have a place of burial in Israel for their loved ones.

יהי זכרם ברוך
May their memory be blessed

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6oBfgkreiu/?igsh=MnpkODZzOTB5eTU4 For 60 seconds, everything stands still as we remember and dedicate our thoughts to the 6 million Jewish people (and many other souls) who were persecuted, murdered, or lived through the holocaust.

We do the same on Yom Hazikaron יום הזיכרון Memorial day for Israel’s Fallen Soldiers and Victims of Terrorism.

In a world where too many deny the atrocities of the holocaust, and now do the same with the atrocities done on Oct 7, remembering, reminding, and teaching about the holocaust feels more important than ever.

It is our duty - the people of the free world who want to live in a democracy - to do everything in our power to keep this world free from the present evil, before it is too late. And I do not mean for Jewish people only. I mean for the free world of the west. We must read the signs and learn from the past so that we have a future.

In my quest to create the perfect Hebrew learning tools, my perfectionism and deep care for my students' success play pivotal roles.

Hebrew 1 and 2 focus on completing your writing skills in both print and cursive scripts - because in Hebrew you need to know both. Then, Hebrew 3, a comprehensive textbook, rounds out your reading skills by teaching you the Nikud vowel system. Because so many of you asked for a hardcover version and its textbook nature, Hebrew 3 is formatted left-to-right. So you can get Hebrew 3 in a premium hardcover format.

Each comes with supportive videos to ensure smooth sailing. Plus, you’ll always have my personal support just a message away.

If you haven’t grabbed your copies yet and are eager to dive into reading and writing Hebrew with ease, check out the long list of benefits each book offers on their Amazon product pages.

✍️ Comment the word WRITE and I will DM you the link to order my books.

If these people were fulfilled, busy building their lives, getting somewhere, investing in a better future for themselves or for others, if they were inspired by life -

They would never dedicate their days to hatered, anti semitism, and pure violence.

I believe that with all my heart.

It is so sad that these people have all the opportunities one could want yet they choose to do nothing productive and fulfilling, not seeing how their own emptiness leaves only room to hate, blame, and hate some more.

No narrative in the world can change the fact that it is about the haters, not about the hated. I want you to remember that, my friends, when times get rough. They are just sad, empty people. Happy, busy, fulfilled people don't have the time for that. We are too busy doing good things with out lives.

🤍💙

If this Passover feels ironically painful to you, you are not alone.

Passover is a time when we reflect on moving from slavery to freedom מֵעַבְדוּת לְחֵרוּת. With so many having their freedom forcibly taken away in unimaginable ways, it feels like since Oct 7 part of our own freedom is missing too.

I hope this Passover, despite the heavy hearts, brings you moments of peace and reflection.

Let's keep those who can't be with us in our thoughts and prayers, and use this time to appreciate and fight for the precious freedom we often take for granted.

Wishing you the best Passover possible under the circumstances. Let’s hold onto hope and push for a future where freedom is truly universal.

One of the most joyful and beautiful traditions of Purim is known as משלוח מנות /meesh-'lo-akh ma-'not/.

This custom, rooted in the spirit of community and friendship, involves sending gifts of food to friends, family, and even strangers.

The tradition stems from the Book of Esther מגילת אסתר /mee-gee-'lat es-'ter/, which tells the story of the Jewish people's salvation from a plot aimed at their destruction (sounds familiar?)

/meesh-lo-'khey ma-'not/ משלוחי מנות - in plural - are typically baskets filled with a variety of foods and treats.

According to tradition, each basket should contain at least two different types of ready-to-eat foods or beverages. The reason? To ensure that the recipient can enjoy the feast of Purim right away.

Common items include pastries, fruits, and sweets, especially the triangular cookies known as Hamantaschen אזני המן /oz-'ney ha-'man/

Watching Hamas and all its supporters lie about anything without even blinking, twisting around terms and history, and too many people feeding into their lies - is something I never thought I would see in my lifetime

That is why I do not have the priviledge of "just teaching Hebrew"

I do not see it as political any more than it would be if we were in Germany of 1939

I lived my entire life in the aftermath of the Shoah. My family went through it. I translated my family member's book about her survival story. I used to sit on her lap as a child and hear her stories. And I personally heard dozens of others' stories, every year

My main content is always teaching you Hebrew & the love of Israel, the language, and my culture

But post Oct 7, with all that it brought & still does, if you don't understand why I post this content as well, you do not understand what it means to be persecuted. To be Jewish. To be an Israeli. I do. That is all Artist: @itzikahunna

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4nSUMVLsOS/?igsh=YjI2b2Y5YjV6Zmtr Once again, the West provides. Gaza cynically abuses.

The pattern never changes.

Why would a community in crisis turn its back on its own people, stealing free aid, attacking and killing aid truckers only to then sell it to other community members who supposedly have nothing?

The west has to wake up. These people do not share our mentality. They are showing it in every thing they do.

They have showed it on Oct 7 as teachers, nurses, doctors, women and endless "innocent civilians" cheered and aided in the looting, raping, killing, kidnapping, hiding, and torturing of women, children, babies, elderly...

And they are showing it in every single thing they do since.

All we need is to look and see.

Because the west is next. They are showing this too, very clearly.

🌟✨ Feeling truly touched and grateful! ✨🌟

This picture was posted on another platform with the comment that both books were purchased as gifts for their 8 year old grandchild.

I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the beautiful gesture made. Her decision to gift my coloring and notebook to her granddaughter fills my heart with joy and warmth. 💖

The thought of her granddaughter being introduced to the Hebrew language through these resources brings happiness to my heart. It's moments like these that remind me of the true power of sharing knowledge and tradition across generations. 📚✨

What I had hoped for when creating these books. 🎨📖

When someone doesn't understand, they might feel confused, frustrated, or uncertain about a topic, concept, or situation.

This can lead to mistakes, misunderstandings, and missed opportunities for learning or connection.

However, not understanding can also be an opportunity for growth, as it opens the door to asking questions, seeking clarification, and gaining new insights.

Let’s learn to understand Hebrew together and open up an entire world of possibilities.

Adar, a month brimming with joy, good luck, and tradition, offers more than just the celebration of Purim.

It's a time when we embrace happiness, as the famous saying from the Talmud, מִשֶּׁנִּכְנַס אֲדָר מַרְבִּין בְּשִׂמְחָה "When Adar begins, joy increases" highlights the essence of this period.

Adar can appear twice in a leap year - which this year is - leading to Adar Aleph and Adar Bet, adding a unique characteristic to the Jewish calendar that occurs roughly every three years.

In this month, we remember Moses, who passed away on the 7th of Adar at the age of 120, marking both his birthday and the day of his death. This duality adds depth to Adar, as even Haman the wicked, in his plot against the Jews, chose Adar for its association with Moses' death, unaware that it also celebrated his birth. This oversight turned Adar from a month perceived with potential misfortune to one of victory and joy.

The name Adar itself signifies strength.

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a time when we solemnly recall one of history's darkest chapters.

I never imagined that in my lifetime, I would speak of it in present terms, witnessing a terrifying resurgence in antisemitism.

As we remember those who suffered and perished, let’s also renew our commitment to a world of understanding, safety, and peace for all.

/sh-‘vat/ שְׁבָט reminds us of the deep connection between our lives and the natural world. ט”ו בִּשְׁבָט /too bee-sh-‘vat/, sometimes referred to as the “Jewish Arbor Day”, is marked by planting trees and eating fruits and grains typical of the Land of Israel.

Shvat also carries historical significance. It was in this month that Moses began his final speech to the Israelites, as recounted in the Book of Deuteronomy.
