Nurturing The Roots of tomorrow
Hebrew Adventures For Young Minds
Welcome to the “Shorashim Learning Cenetr” Family.
We are so excited to be a home for your children’s Hebrew education.
Shorashim Learning Center was founded with the aim of making Hebrew language learning accessible to children and youth in the Las Vegas community.
We’re here to help kids develop proficiency in all four essential skills: reading, listening, writing, and speaking.
In Shorashim, children will explore the beauty and significance of the Hebrew language.
We are offering a unique opportunity for Jewish and Israeli families seeking to preserve their heritage and enrich their children’s education.

The Mission
At Shorashim Learning Center, we are dedicated to teaching Hebrew reading and writing by blending the best of both worlds: an official Israeli program for Hebrew students and the expertise of a seasoned local Hebrew teacher who makes the material accessible to American youth.
Your child will learn to read and write Hebrew with just one class per week, receiving personalized instruction tailored to their level through our three premier programs: “Niflaot” for grades 1-5, “Bishvil Haivrit” for grades 6-10, and “Keshet” for ages 11 and up.
These programs, developed by the Educational Technology Center in collaboration with the Israeli Ministry of Education, are used in hundreds of schools worldwide and combine interactive learning with workbook exercises to provide a top-quality Hebrew education.
Learning Hebrew at Shorashim Learning Center goes beyond language acquisition; it nurtures deeper connections within Jewish and Israeli families. Children become adept at communicating with relatives near and far, enriching family bonds and preserving traditions across generations.
Central to our approach is the integration of Jewish and Israeli values into our lessons. Beyond mastering the language, we emphasize the cultivation of character traits such as respect, honesty, and perseverance, aiming to develop well-rounded individuals who are prepared to make meaningful contributions to society while preserving their heritage and the Hebrew language.
