Shalom lechulam! Thanks to all who have joined us in our first two meetings since I took over the group. Now it's time for our third meeting, back once again in Porter Square!

All Hebrew ranges are welcome: beginner to expert. Now's the time to come and flex your linguistic muscles! Is your Hebrew a bit dusty? No problem! We'll be your Dust Buster!

Any questions, please just ask. Also, I've had people asking me about the cost of running/attending the group, etc, so let's say that each person should contribute $1. Hopefully affordable for all! :)

Shalom lechulam!
My name is Gary, and I have decided to step up since Yael will no longer be able to run this Meetup. I'm new to the group, having joined recently but never having made it to an event. So I'd like to start the new season (and new year) off with a low-key gathering at Uno's in Porter Square so that people can provide feedback and input as quickly as possible. I'd love to hear about people's backgrounds, and how it is that they speak Hebrew. I, myself, was a newbie to the language until living in Israel from '96 to 2000. I came back "fluent" (or at least conversational), and began teaching Hebrew to adults through Aish HaTorah upon my return. So that's my "short story". Please bring and share yours. :)
I would also love to hear input on venue, etc. Ideally I think a group like this is served best when hosted by different members in their homes, so if any brave volunteers would like to offer to host, that would be fantastic. I live out in Waltham, so I'm afraid that my place would not be appropriate. But I'm also open to holding events in Coolidge Corner (in places like Rami's or one of the other numerous Harvard St options). Would people be open to CC for venues?
Please feel free to provide feedback and input, and please do come next Sunday to Uno's in Porter Square to say "Hello"! Or "shalom", or "mah ha'inyanim"!
Best,
Gary

Shalom chevray,

We had a really fun potluck and movie night last week, thanks to those who came. Our next official meeting will be on May 14th at the Green Tomato, which is a good place to get food if you're coming right from work.

If you'd like to get together with people beforehand, send me a note with where and when and I can post it to the site.

B'shalom,
Yael
P.S. The $3 charge is to reimburse me for the fee that Meetup.com charges me to organize this group.

Shalom Chevrey,

This next meeting will be on Thursday, March 19th from 6-8pm. Since we'll be meeting a bit earlier than usual, we'll meet at a new venue, one that serves food for those of you who are racing over after work: The Green Tomato 2, just outside Davis Square. Click here to see a menu. Apologies to those of you who keep kosher and cannot eat here, though it seems to be the kind of place that you could bring your own food in and they wouldn't notice.

Another good thing about this place is that there is on-street parking on both sides of Elm Street, and it's not metered after 6pm. It's a little bit outside the main hustle and bustle of Davis Square, so the parking is easier than for Starbucks.

Please come to meet new people and practice your Hebrew. These evenings are always enjoyable.
Also see the calendar section of the website for our rescheduled potluck/movie night, which will be on Sunday, April 5th at 5pm. Hope you can join us for either or both!

B'shalom,
Yael

Shalom chevray,

Let's get together in January and see what we want to do for the next few months with this group, as well as getting a chance to speak Hebrew and meet some new people. We'll be meeting at our usual spot (see above) which should be warm and cozy on a cold January night. If you have any Hebrew/Israeli games, please bring them.

Hope to see you soon.

Chag sameach,
Yael
