[quote=Anonymous]The school has to be strict about no religious content - it is a public school. I definitely think Hebrew is one of the least useful languages (though that also depends on one's personal experiences - one may have family in Israel. I'm not Jewish but as a young adult, I was fascinated by Hebrew and wanted to move to Israel to study Hebrew. I did end up going and spent a month on a kibbutz and several weeks traveling around. I think Hebrew would have been hard for me as I'm tone deaf and not great with accents but it was very easy to get around with just English) but there are benefits to bilingualism that go beyond the practical use of the knowledge. I would have loved the idea of an Arabic/Hebrew immersion school but understand that charters develop based on the people who propose them. Wish Sela and all charters the best of luck. [/quote]
