Hebrew in Five Minutes a Day

You and your students have worked hard learning Hebrew all year. Don't let those gains evaporate in the summer heat.

These fun Hebrew apps encourage summer practice:

Shalom Hebrew OLC App

Students of all ages can learn to read Hebrew in a fun and effective way on any device!  Designed as a universal app, Shalom Hebrew OLC App can be used on any PC or Mac desktop; laptop; tablet; or smartphone.

Developed in conjunction with the Jewish Journey Project, the app comes packed with engaging features, interactive reading exercises that can be recorded and reviewed by educators, and more than a dozen games. Link it to student accounts in our Online Learning Center and let them choose where they wish to practice—and on which mobile device.

Each of the 25 lessons can be used as a supplement to any of the Shalom Uvrachah materials or even other primers for additional Hebrew practice, or used completely independently.
