Sacks Morasha children proved hotshots at Hebrew, winning two out of the three categories at this year’s Ivrit spelling bee.

Contestants had a minute to translate as many words as they could from English to Hebrew and spell them in Ivrit.

The annual competition attracted 55 participants from seven primary schools, including a number of Israelis who took refuge here after the Hamas attack on southern Israel on October 7.

The year-5 non-Ivrit speakers’ award went to Tamara Aaron of Sacks Morasha with Leah Dhoosche, Lilia Sherr and Sally Freudenthal, all from Nancy Reuben, in second, third and fourth.
