The first book in a three-year series, Shalom Ivrit 1 is built on the
theme of the Jewish holidays. Students encounter Hebrew as a living
language by building on their everyday and holiday experiences, at home
and in school. Two endearing and humorous characters - Bar the Mouse and
Malmalah the Ant - help teach 160 key words and an additional 90
holiday and enrichment words, as well as comprehension and language
skills.
