If you've been looking to learn and practice sign language, this is the class for you! You will be introduced to finger spelling, Deaf culture, and common signs that will help you communicate with both friends and strangers. Our interactive classes will feature guest speakers, games and songs, and breakout rooms will be used to practice what you've learned with others at the same skill level. We will even make a New Year greeting video for friends in the Deaf Jewish community.
