Hebrew: Bringing Our Language Alive
At Lamdeni, we pride ourselves in our students’ enthusiastic immersion in Hebrew learning.
Children learn to appreciate the significance of the Hebrew language and its relevance to them as members of the Australian Jewish community.
Hebrew, particularly Hebrew reading, is the key to full and meaningful engagement in traditional Jewish experiences. Friday night Kiddush, Passover Seder and the High Holy Days all come alive at Lamdeni. Through Hebrew, we do not only give our students the skills and knowledge they need to be prepared for their Bar or Bat Mitzvah, but we lay the foundation for their ongoing involvement in Jewish life and community.
Lamdeni’s Hebrew multi-level program, which covers all aspects from Alef-Bet to reading, writing and conversational Hebrew, is accredited by the Department of Education. Our highly acclaimed curriculum and resources are tailored in accordance with the Victorian Essential Learning Standards‘ LOTE (Languages Other Than English) guidelines. It has been brilliantly developed to cater to the distinct linguistic and cultural needs of our children.
We are committed to equipping each student with the fundamentals of Hebrew – from the traditional prayer book to today’s Modern Hebrew workbooks. Through stimulating strategies, students become familiar with the ‘building blocks’ of Hebrew, obtaining necessary language skills for fluent and accurate Hebrew reading, writing and conversation.
Our Aleph Champion Reading Program is an innovative motivational system that gets children reading and writing Hebrew skillfully and quickly. Through this and many other unique and creative methods, Lamdeni demonstrates that every child can enjoy learning Hebrew.
