hundreds of locations reaching out to Jews in their community to help them
learn to read Hebrew. And, this year, NJOP will be introducing "Twebrew
School" YouTube videos, a great review tool for class participants, as
well as inviting them at the conclusion of the Level I program to attend a
"bonus class" where they will learn over 100 Hebrew words and
phrases that every Jew must know.
Register by Monday August 16th
to be included on NJOP's Location Poster.
