Robyn Rosenberg taught in after-school Hebrew schools for over twenty years. In addition to being part of the MASA staff, Robyn is a teacher Yeshiva Primary where she teaches kindergarten and first grade. Reflecting on her time with MASA, Robyn looks for to the excitement when the children start to read Hebrew. Time is spent playing games to aid in learning to read words and Hebrew prayers. What is emphasized is learning about holidays and Jewish customs and traditions through stories and doing crafts. Robyn’s goal is for the children to practice and appreciate our beautiful religion.
