Bet: It is amazing how much the students are learning. I am very proud of the amount of Hebrew conversation which is taking place in their class. The students also learned about the crossing of the Sea of Reeds, "The Red Sea". They are starting to practice reading the words to "Shalom Aleikhem". It is a pleasure to listen to them read.
