SMART Hebrew

In a combined fourth/fifth grade special needs classroom at the Westchester Fairfield Hebrew Academy in Greenwich, Connecticut, all eyes focus on a next-generation whiteboard.

Working her laptop, the teacher projects images of a mountain representing the Jewish morning prayer service and a human figure that traverses the mountain, as the class completes each prayer. When the figure reaches the mountaintop, the teacher taps on the “Amidah” prayer icon displayed next to it—and harei: the text of the Amidah appears on the board.

The director of this scene is Jennifer Truboff MJEd’07, a student in Hebrew College’s Jewish Special Education (SpEd) certificate program and graduate of the Hebrew College/ Pardes Educator’s program.
