Hebrew with Intent: A School’s Culture Transformed
Chai Level 7 Revised Workbooks are Now Available

For many schools, the CHAI  and Mitkadem Hebrew curricula have long been mainstays. For those new to the programs, we are developing a series of tutorials that cover the basics of what they are and how they work. The first videos are now available. 

Mitkadem is a self-paced Hebrew program focused on prayer and synagogue skills, where students move at their own speed. The curriculum is organized into 23 levels that introduce grammar, vocabulary, and reading. 

A spiral curriculum that grows through seven levels, CHAI focuses on three main strands - Torah, Avodah, and G'milut Chasadim - complete with an educator's guide and accompanying student workbooks.
