Meet the Instructor: As a Jewish educator for 30+ years, Debbie Betesh takes lifelong Jewish learning very seriously and loves working with motivated adult learners who set aside time in their busy weeks to add Hebrew decoding/reading to their broad knowledge base. When not teaching, Debbie loves to take long walks, read, knit, and keep up with the comings and goings of her 6 adult children and 11 (and counting) grandchildren.
