We have decided
to buy the current HBT home.
Prerequisite
standards have been upgraded.
Modern Hebrew is
now offered for the month of January prior to begining the semester studies.
This course can optionally be continued throughout the semester at no additional
charge.
We've also been thinking about putting together a so-called "yearbook" for the
Home that would include information about most of our previous students
(excluding those in sensitive locations), and we would like to have current
information about what our alumni are up to. If you have any news for us, or
would just like to send us a quick blurb about your current situation and your
future plans, that would be fantastic. If you want a picture other than the one
you used to apply in this yearbook, please send it to us over email or by
regular mail.
Wherever you are and whatever you are doing, we pray blessings on you. If you
have anyone in mind that you think would be interested in the new program,
please do refer them to the Home. Have a great year!
