2021 Summer Workbooks

Hillel Torah is committed to using the summer months for students to retain new skills, read on a daily basis, and get a preview of new material. You can find all the Summer Workbooks below. 

In addition to Summer Workbooks, we recommend that our students read each day either in English or in Hebrew. Summer reading can be recorded in the HT Summer Reading Log.

Students are also encouraged to participate in the Rock Ivrit- רק עברית summer program we have developed to engage students in Judaic and Ivrit skills during the summer.

Handbooks

Please take the time to read the handbooks carefully, especially those policies that are new or have been updated, to set your children up for a successful school year.
