"Read, Write, Recite Hebrew really broke down language learning into its constituent parts - reading, writing, and speaking, letter by letter. In this method, by the end of the book and after only four one-hour sessions, I was comfortably familiar with the entire aleph bet, both printed and handwritten, such that I could read, write, and speak them in sequence forming words and short phrases in both [print and script]. The important/basic words listed provided a basis for conversational Hebrew and proved useful to me in my two months living in Israel. "

"Michelle Geft has provided a great gift to the world of Jewish Education with her new work, Read, Write, Recite Hebrew. Michelle's book delivers the basics of Hebrew in a clear and concise manner, without talking down to her students, making this an appropriate text for all grades from first grade through adult education. Her emphasis on teaching cursive script simultaneously with the block letters provides an invaluable tool, even for those students who have already mastered basic reading. In short, I highly recommend Read, Write, Recite Hebrew as an indispensable addition to any Hebrew curriculum."
Rabbi Judith HaLevy,
Malibu Jewish Center and Synagogue
"My eleven-year-old daughter started learning Hebrew to prepare for her Bat Mitzvah using Read, Write, Recite Hebrew. In eight one-hour sessions, she was able to read and write Hebrew! We were so impressed with the clear and fun way in which it was presented and had no idea it was possible to learn a new language skill so quickly. I am thrilled that, because of this book, my daughter feels confident to move forward in preparing for her Bat Mitzvah."
