G Alphabet Game. On the left-hand side of a piece of paper, write each letter of the alphabet. Then try and come up with someone Jewish for each letter. For example A - (S.Y.) Agnon, author. B - (Leonard) Bernstein, composer-conduc- tor. C - (Marc) Chagall, artist. (Incidentally, Eduard E. Van Raalte [1841-1921] was the minister of justice in Rotterdam, Holland, in 1905.) \W: Word Here's a fun twist on a popular word game, which also can help you learn a bit of Hebrew. It can be played by beginners and Hebrew scholars alike. All you need is a Hebrew-English diction- ary, paper and pencils. One person selects a word in Hebrew — one he thinks no one will kno.w — and asks players to give their best shot at translat- ing it. The winner can be the person who comes up with the correct (or clos- est) answer, or the person who offers the most creative answer.

The first such schools were opened in the 1860s in Zhitomer, Minsk, Berdichev and Vilna and featured lectures given in Yiddish covering such subjects as nature and literature. Most of these schools eventually were shut down by Russian authorities. ZigZag, Inc. This company was founded in 1996 to produce Jewish software and find new ways to teach Hebrew using computer technology. In 1998, ZigZag signed an agreement with the University of Michigan's Language Resource Center to create new kinds of online foreign lan- guage exercises for students (the results of which were presented by U-M in 1999). You can learn about ZigZag, and play some of their online games includ- ing "AlefBetGo" challenge and "The Hanukkah House" at wwvv.zigzagvvorld.com .
