2017 research published by the AVI CHAI Foundation, authored by Alex Pomson and Jack Wertheimer about Hebrew education. The research explores the following three questions.

  • Why should Hebrew be studied from the perspectives of administrators, parents, teachers, and students?
  • How do schools different in the types of Hebrew they prioritize? And what accounts for those differences?
  • Are day school stakeholders aligned in their perceptions of what is being achieved in their schools with respect to Hebrew language acquisition?
