The photos and materials they use have nothing to be with being Jewish \u2013 they are purposefully multi-cultural. I like this program, but so far, my kids haven\u2019t really enjoyed it. It is available via CD or download, and you can go to the site and get a trial.<br \/>\nHebrew language books, dvds, cds, videos, fluent friends, etc\u2026 are all very helpful here, too!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chumash<\/strong><br \/>\nThere are a lot of options for chumash workbooks (like the very popular Rabbi Winder\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/mekorjudaica.com\/Lashon-HaTorah.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Lashon HaTorah books<\/a>), but some aren\u2019t friendly to those without a good chumash basis themselves.

There is enough English in this book that it is not a problem to understand without Hebrew, the learning is skills-based, it breaks down the words in a logical and clear way, and it\u2019s interesting.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.davka.com\/cgi-bin\/product.cgi?product=101\"><b>Learn to Learn Chumash<\/b><\/a>: This is a set of games and activities meant to help with chumash fluency and memorization of some key words \/ shoreshim.

You can search by age group, subject, keywords, authors, and date. You can also find Jewish clip art (I use it for chore charts and mitzvah checklists), lap books, worksheets, and much more. It\u2019s a good place to start out your search for something specific.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.room613.net\/members\/room613\" target=\"_blank\">Room 613 <\/a>: This site is specifically tailored to Jewish Homeschoolers. They do classes for different age groups in different topics, but they also have blogs and information you can use.

This is a wonderful resource!<br \/>\n<strong>Groups of like minded people:<\/strong> Yahoo groups like <a href=\"http:\/\/groups.yahoo.com\/group\/jewishorthodoxandhomeschooling\/\">Jewish, Orthodox, and Homeschooling<\/a> or Facebook Groups like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/5234653297\/\">Orthodox Jewish Homeschooling <\/a>can give you a place to ask questions, be inspired, or vent. There are also many local groups (Jewish and not) that can give you ideas, homeschooling get-togethers, and more. Ask your local friends or search for them.<br \/>\nAs you can see, there are a lot of options out there for a Jewish education. And this is just the tip of the iceberg! We find some things that work for one child don\u2019t work as well for the next, some things are good for a while and then need to be changed, and some things are amazing &#8211; and we are all enjoying the ride!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Image Credits:<\/strong><br \/>\nCover image source image cc by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/twechy\/6830923298\/\">twechy<\/a><br \/>\nTefila Trax image credit Rabbi Chaim Alevsky<br \/>\nLiving Lessons workbook image courtesy Living Lessons<br \/>\nKol Yisrael image courtesy Behrman House<br \/>\nLearn to Learn Chumash image taken from Learn to Learn Chumash by Davka Corporation<br \/>\nOther images via Amazon.<\/p>\n<p><em><em>Besides actively homeschooling her children, Amital holds a PhD in psychology and teaches online college courses.
