About the Teacher

Mrs Shamir teaches Hebrew and Jewish studies along with Dr Halperin, Mr Yona, Ms Dina and Ms Morgan; In her own words, “we work diligently to bring subject matter alive and transmit to our students the passion for learning about Judaism and Hebrew, and foster a deep connection to Israel and the Jewish people.” In celebrating the Jewish holidays in English and Hebrew, Mrs Shamir emphasizes the Hebrew language to create a strong bond with Israel. She incorporates Israel study and Israeli cultural experiences with events throughout the year, as well as in every Hebrew lesson. In Hebrew, students learn the map of Israel and they “travel virtually” and explore places in the state of Israel. Throughout the lessons she includes Israeli games, word puzzles, YouTube for Israeli songs, websites and more. Students share their writing in Hebrew, they write dialogues, stories and articles, they read it and share with their classmates.
