I agree
14:59
with what you had to say.

And I also want to add that I've learned that it isn't one parent perspective on Hebrew education for all.
15:10
Different families come with different hopes and expectations for Hebrew learning.
15:15
Part of the reason is that Hebrew carries different meanings for different families.
15:21
Some are more interested in language learning, while others see Hebrew as connection to Jewish identity, to the community, to the culture, to Israel, to the history, and they really want to participate in the Jewish life.
15:34
Some parents are very interested in language development and they want to see progress in all four skills, language skills, reading, writing, listening and speaking.
