10am - Level 1 - We'll teach everything starting with the Aleph Bet. No experience reading Hebrew is assumed. And we'll tie everything we're learning in with the siddur. Our goal is to make reading and singing the siddur comfortable and friendly.
11am - Level 2 - So you learned to read Hebrew once upon time, and you need a refresher. We'll review everything, and work on reading and singing from the Siddur.
1pm - Level 3 - You're comfortable reading Hebrew, but there's always more to learn! Let's practice what you know, and build your skills.

She works through the night, preparing the day’s breads and pastries, trying to escape a reality of loneliness, bad memories, and the shadow of her mother’s death. When Josef Weber, an elderly man in Sage’s grief support group, begins stopping by the bakery, they strike up an unlikely friendship.
