We all know about food on the go but Hebrew Lessons!!

I want to encourage you to step out the box and do some back packing in Israel. No mater what time of year you visit there is amazing things to do but stop there I am not finished!

I wanted to do this latest trip a little different could I learn hebrew as I went from place to place?

This was my personal challenge and a good job I left my sister at home in New York as this was not journey for a shy person to take.

I had some moments I thought I would never get a ride but I have to tell you I learned so much Hebrew I had to do a shout out on the web.

Hebrew Lessons on the go was an idea i got from a new immigrant family in Israel i found them on the internet and watched there videos and when they did street Hebrew and walking onto shops to build there conversation I was hooked on the idea and booked a 3 week trip on a budget that would make you cry Lol!

Have a look at the Russell family at hebrew-lessons.com and I hope you will enjoy learning Hebrew with them. I am home now and working like mad so I can get some money together to o again the weather was amazing hot in the day and cool in the evening get out there and visit Israel!
