read and understand modern Hebrew. The second book in a three-year series, Shalom Ivrit 2 is built on the theme of Jewish values. Students learn Hebrew as a living language through engaging short stories, folktales, and midrashim. In the process, they explore key Jewish values, such as self-respect, friendship, and humility. Students acquire 151 new words and develop their language and comprehension skills. Basic grammar-including present tense verb endings, possessives, and root letters-is presented sequentially and clearly, increasing familiarity with Hebrew word structure and syntax as an integral part of language acquisition. Over 170 illustrations help make Shalom Ivrit 2 lively and motivating.

A variety of comprehension activities-including puzzles, cloze technique (sentence completion), true and false, and word/picture matches-reinforce instruction and provide practice, as do additional stories, poems, dialogues, and riddles.
