Heritage Florida Jewish News - Central Florida's Independent Jewish Voice

Each summer, for three days, Temple Israel, located at 50 S. Moss Road, Winter Springs, offers students of all ages and their families an opportunity to have fun and brush up on their Hebrew. This year they will be conducting an archeological excavation where participants will dig up relics and artifacts from three different civilizations that help to understand their lifestyles and culture.

Students will uncover treasures from the Dead Sea sect known as the Essenes, from the Roman civilization during this same time period, and Orlando history in the early 1970s. And of course, Hebrew terms will be introduced while the group explores the past.

Passport to Hebrew will meet Wednesday through Friday, Aug. 5, 6, and 7 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. (includes dinner).

Participants may attend one session - $10/student; two sessions - $15/student; or three sessions - $20/student. The program is open to all and families are welcome to participate together.
