Ivrit b’Ivrit - Learning Hebrew

This group was founded a few years ago and the young Israelis who run the group and its activities are energetic and fun. They are doing their best to service the community with activities for older kids. The programs are run in English. But, my hope is that they’ll work with us to create Hebrew speaking programs as well.

There are a lot of Israeli families participating in these groups City wide. The focus is a fun, often outdoors, celebration of Israel and its a great way for 3rd-12th graders to learn about Jewish and Israeli culture with friends.

For better or worse, right now, the only option for Hebrew speaking activities for families in an organized fashion with counselors, etc. for older kids you have to drive up to Orange County to this active Tsofim group.

I’m hoping at some point we’ll be able to get something similar off the ground either with Young Judea in San Diego or with a Tsofim group of our own. Please let me know if you’re interested in helping with that.
