Hebrew Becomes Hip in American Schools
(JNS) Faygie Holt - More than 6,600 students were learning Hebrew in a public-school or charter-school setting in 2018, according to a report issued by CASJE, the Consortium for Applied Studies in Jewish Education, and George Washington University's Graduate School of Education and Human Development. 35 schools were offering Hebrew-language classes - 17 elementary or middle schools, and 18 serving grades 9 through 12. Sharon Avni, who co-wrote the report, said, "The biggest surprise is that there are 2,000 students in traditional public schools studying Hebrew language."
