Hebrew Prayer HEBREW THROUGH MUSIC | Grades 4–6

Hebrew in Harmony

A groundbreaking way to teach Hebrew prayer—through music.

Hebrew in Harmony is a three-year Hebrew curriculum for 4th-6th graders that uses
the power of music to engage students with prayer.
Long used to beautify the words and act of prayer, music creates a safe and
welcoming environment rich with opportunities for learning. Rooted in music,
Hebrew in Harmony encourages students to create meaning from personal prayer
and make emotional connections through communal prayer. And the flowing
words help students learn Hebrew through the music.
Select from among 22 individual modules—each devoted to a different prayer—
and teach them in any order. Featuring music from today’s top Jewish musicians,
along with arts, movement, videos, and a full digital learning experience, this
multimedia curriculum invites students to learn to sing and pray in Hebrew, as well
as read, explore, and interpret prayer text.

Hebrew Prayer SELF-PACED | Grades 3–7

Mitkadem: Hebrew for Youth

MITKADEM DIGITAL:

Mitkadem Digital matches the printed ramot page for page. Access
to all the ramot is through a single menu, so students can pace
themselves during the year. Students receive automatic, feedback
on fixed-answer exercises; they can screen-print answers to open-
ended questions to send to the teacher. The digital edition tracks
student usage for teachers to review.

Each 12-month license for Mitkadem Digital gives a student
access to the online versions of all Ramot 3-23. Each license is
renewable yearly, so students can go back and review work done
in previous years.
