Each week, there will be some homework, but this is a semester-long class spread out over the full year. Once a month on a Thursday, you will meet in person as a class, and most months there will also be one zoom class.

    2 class hours at Epstein
    Homework
    PLUS, 2 other meetings per month (1 in person, 1 on zoom)

  • It’s a fantastic opportunity! Not only can you meet part of your college foreign language requirement, but your Hebrew knowledge will increase. The skills you will learn in this class will come in handy when you travel to Israel on a gap year program, or on Birthright. Plus, this is the very first time that a SUPA class is being taught outside of a traditional high school setting, so you’ll be part of history!

  • Youchi Holstein, experienced educator and native Hebrew speaker, is excited to teach this class: “I am so excited to be part of this pilot program! Teaching Hebrew is a labor of love.”
