Our Families Love Us! (and We Love Them!)

Olivia, age 9

"Rakefet has helped me in Hebrew by explaining every letter in the best way possible. I think I am going to remember everything that she taught me. She takes me step-by-step and makes funny jokes to make me feel good when I get something wrong."

Desiree, age 13

"Rakefet is the best Hebrew teacher ever! She taught me how to read from the Torah in three months without knowing any Hebrew. She is so nice and her personality is so energetic and perfect for children. She made the experience so fun and easy and it was so enjoyable to work with her for my bat mitzvah. I always looked forward to our Wednesday tutor sessions!"

Sara Firouz, parent

"Rakefet tutored both my daughters for their bat mitzvahs. Neither knew how to read Hebrew and she managed to teach them and help them conduct their service in less than six months. She has a fun and bubbly personality that is relatable to kids and I highly recommend her as a tutor in preparing your children for their bar/bat-mitzvah."

Jack, age 10

"It meant the world to have you there as I became a Bat Mitzvah... Thank you so much for being my teacher, my tutor, and my friend... Thank you for being an amazing friend and I can't wait to keep this friendship forever. Thank you for teaching me all of that Hebrew for my Bat Mitzvah and all the prayers and blessings...This day wouldn't have been the same without you. Much love and appreciation."
