“My online Hebrew class at UWM has been one of the most challenging but rewarding classes of my life. With the truly superb teaching skill of professor Yael Ben-Yitschak, I have learned Hebrew online. Yael is wonderful! She is patient and listens to our concerns and provides great feedback. She has made herself available to help us every step of the way. The flexibility of the class has allowed me to take it on my many trips to the west coast, or wherever I can carry my laptop.”

“Everyday that I get to study Hebrew, I feel so incredibly lucky! Hebrew is the heart and soul of the Jewish people. The quality of instruction at UW- Milwaukee will enable me to continue studying and volunteering in Israel. It will also help me communicate with family members who live in Israel. The online program is convenient and fun and I have met wonderful people. The professor is top notch!”

“I was nervous starting a new language online but Yael's experience teaching Hebrew combined with her ability to utilize technology really paid off. The course was fun, welcoming, and extremely informative. Yael takes the time to make sure each student gets what they need and is very accessible even though the course is not in person.”

“I knew during the first month of my Hebrew 101 class that I needed to know more. Because of the wonderful professors in the program, I graduated with 4 semesters (I only needed 2) of modern Hebrew and a Jewish Studies minor. I was and still am grateful for the culture of learning that the Jewish Studies program provided for me while I was a student at UWM.”
