I am sitting down at my desk for the first time in weeks, taking a deep breath and thinking \u201cwow, we did it!\u201d We finally took our two kids to Israel! It was a phenomenal experience.<\/p>\n
The Jewish homeland, a place where there is Hebrew absolutely everywhere! But that was our first challenge! One of the first things my 8 year old said to me was \u201chow do you read Hebrew?\u201d at that point, I didn\u2019t give him a proper answer as we were both\u00a0 tired and grouchy after 30 hours of travelling.<\/p>\n
But, it wasn\u2019t the last time he was to ask me, again he asked me (this time in a more reasonable mood!) \u201chow is Hebrew read?\u201d, so I took the time to explain it to him, and he was thoroughly enjoying the hands-on learning experience!<\/p>\n
Wherever we went we had fun reading the street signs, the menus in the restaurants and the shop signs. Hebrew was everywhere. I realised, to it was a lovely opportunity to put into practice their Hebrew reading skills and to answer the oft asked questions \u00a0\u201chow do you read Hebrew?\u201d.<\/p>\n
Throughout the trip Mr 8 often asked \u201chow is Hebrew read without vowels\u201d? I explained it isa skill that has be developed over time. Towards the end of our trip, my 12 year old announced in a proud voice \u201cI finally know how to read Hebrew without vowels!\u201d then Mr 8 piped up, I think I know how to read Hebrew<\/a>! I was impressed with both of them!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Discovering Biblical Hebrew: A Family Adventure in Israel I am sitting down at my desk for the first time in weeks, taking a deep breath and thinking \u201cwow, we did it!\u201d We finally took our two kids to Israel!
