URJ Update: We've Cleared Even MORE Titles

Last week we announced the addition of a modified version of Chai Level 7, the OLC edition of Mitkadem Digital, and A Taste of Hebrew and we are happy to announce another seven URJ Press titles to our cleared and available list. 

Supplemental Materials for Chai Level 7 Workbooks Now Available

We're Reintroducing Mitkadem Digital - Now in the OLC!

With a few modifications from its original URJ version, the new Online Learning Center edition of Mitkadem Digital puts YOU in control.  One 12-month license will give a student access to the digital features of Ramot 3-23, and will be renewable yearly, so students will always be able to go back and review work done in previous years.
