One of HWE's most significant collaborations is with Home for Hebrew, the curriculum developed by Maayan Sharet. The Home for Hebrew textbooks accompany our students at all levels, alongside additional materials that my teachers and I integrate. To get to know Maayan and the method better, I asked her to write about Home for Hebrew herself.

I was prepared for the novelties and surprises. What caught me off guard, however, was the difficulty arising from the similarities between the languages (Spanish and Hebrew).

The root of the Hebrew verb "To get a haircut" - Lihistaper (להסתפר) - is a very special root. My thoughts about short hair, time passing by and the beauty of Hebrew verbs.

Within seconds, AI can diagnose a student's level, build detailed curriculum, read essays, or listen to Hebrew monologues and correct errors, "conduct a conversation" in writing or even speech. The machine knows the rules of grammar and every word in the dictionary. So, why am I not worried?

Even students at very beginner levels have a personal, even emotional, connection to the language.
