For communities

The desire is there, the tools should be, too

I work with synagogues, JCCs, and immersive programs to get Hebrew classes off the ground, and keep them going.

01

Use the curriculum with your teachers

Your teachers, whether they're Shlichim, educators, or community leaders, get a curriculum that's ready to teach from day one. No training required, no materials to source, nothing to build from scratch.

02

Have Maayan teach your students directly

For immersive communities who want Maayan in the room. She teaches groups directly, bringing her own approach and years of experience to your students.

The method

Hebrew is everywhere.
Access to it rarely is.

Communities around the world want meaningful Hebrew programming and the love for the language is real. But Hebrew is a small language, and genuine access to it outside Israel is rare. Many organizations have dedicated Shlichim who bring warmth and energy to the room but have never had a real curriculum behind them. Students enjoy the experience, and then move on. The Hebrew stays in the classroom.

In other communities, Hebrew lives only in prayer and sacred texts. The bridge to the living, modern language has never been built.

Home for Hebrew meets your community where it is and gives your teachers what they need to help students genuinely engage.

Partnerships

Communities and programs I work with

JCCs and synagogues

Ongoing community Hebrew programs, with weekly or biweekly lessons. A structured curriculum that holds up across a full semester or year.

Universities and immersion programs

Semester-long courses, summer cohorts, and year-long fellowships where Hebrew is part of the experience and students need real communicative skills.

Slichim programs

Immersive programs that bring participants inside Israeli society. Students who arrive with real Hebrew make the most of the experience.

Churches & religious groups

Communities connecting their study of sacred texts with the living, modern language. A bridge from prayer Hebrew to spoken Hebrew.

Adult education programs

Lifelong learners, heritage speakers, and adults connecting with Hebrew for the first time. A curriculum that meets them as the capable, curious people they are.

Custom programs

Have something else in mind? Tell me about your community and we'll shape a program that fits the way you already work.

I work with you to build the right program

Every partnership is different. Some communities have a teacher and no materials. Some have neither. We'll work out which of these steps you actually need.

01

We have a conversation

Tell me about your community, your students, and what you're hoping to achieve. All partnerships start here, where we talk about what makes the most sense for you.

From partners I've worked with

"Maayan is an incredible teacher. The custom curriculum she created for our fellowship was relevant, original, and kept fellows engaged. The best testament to this: a large percentage continued learning with her beyond the designated Ulpan period, with some still learning with her after the fellowship ended. They found her teaching engaging, fun, and highly relevant to their experience in Israel.

Dana Talmi, Executive Director of Yahel Israel

"Time and time again I have witnessed individuals who start studying with Maayan very speedily improve their confidence and skill-sets in spoken language, as well as in reading and writing skills. They unquestionably improve and advance at a pace which is way beyond the standard progress rates for students of Hebrew in traditional ulpan settings."

Neil Harris, Dorot Fellowship Israel Director
