Hebrew by Inbal<p>Shabbat arrives tonight, Rosh Hashanah next week—and my birthday too. 🍎🍯 All new beginnings, all at once.</p><p>But we don’t need to wait for January 1st, a Monday, or even the New Year. Every Shabbat is a reset, a chance to remember what matters.</p><p>Apples and honey remind us: sweetness and new chapters are always possible. Your story isn’t finished—you’re just turning the page.</p><p>This September, I’m choosing to see endings as doorways, challenges as preparation, and rest as fuel for what’s next.</p><p>So ask yourself: what chapter are you ready to begin?</p><p>Shabbat Shalom 💙 and (almost) Shanah Tovah ✨</p><p><a href="https://babka.social/tags/ShanaTova" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ShanaTova</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/ShabbatShalom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ShabbatShalom</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/RoshHashanah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RoshHashanah</span></a></p>

Hebrew by Inbal<p>This just made my entire week 💙</p><p>Mariana sent me these photos - her stunning homemade challah and her Hebrew 1-2-3 books spread out on the table with my free guide, phonetic system, and what not. </p><p>Look at that perfect golden challah! </p><p>And her Hebrew? שלום מורה (hello teacher) written so beautifully.</p><p>After such a heavy week, seeing this reminds me why I do what I do. </p><p>It's not just about teaching Hebrew - it's about connecting people to beauty, to light, the things that nourish our souls.</p><p>Mariana, you're creating magic in your kitchen AND in Hebrew. </p><p>This is exactly what I needed to see right now.</p><p>To all my students working through their Hebrew while nourishing others, keeping traditions alive, finding light in dark times - </p><p>You inspire me every single day.</p><p>שבת שלום everyone 💙</p><p><a href="https://babka.social/tags/StudentLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StudentLife</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Hebrew" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hebrew</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/ChallahBread" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChallahBread</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/ShabbatShalom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ShabbatShalom</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Language</span></a></p>
Hebrew by Inbal<p>What a week.</p><p>A Ukrainian girl dying ignored on a train.<br>A Jerusalem taxi driver risking everything to save a woman under fire.<br>News of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.<br>Then 9/11.</p><p>This isn’t about politics—it’s about the right to debate, the heart of Jewish and Israeli culture.</p><p>When words connect, they build worlds. When twisted, they incite and destroy—just as they did with Rabin in 1995.</p><p>We’ve traded deep discourse for slogans and even celebration of death. That’s not politics. That’s the unraveling of civilization.</p><p>Shabbat Shalom 💙</p><p><a href="https://babka.social/tags/ShabbatShalom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ShabbatShalom</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Blessings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Blessings</span></a></p>

Hebrew by Inbal<p>Shabbat is a time to pause, breathe, and remember what truly matters.<br>As your teacher, I’m here to guide you in Hebrew and share the beauty of our tradition — but more importantly, as a fellow human being, I want you to know this: I am with you.</p><p>With you in hope.<br>With you in prayer for peace.<br>With you in the longing for light to overcome darkness, and for rest to heal weary hearts.</p><p>Shabbat connects us as one global family — different places, different journeys, yet bound together by the same desire for peace, compassion, and wholeness.</p><p>So tonight, as the candles are lit and the words Shabbat Shalom are spoken, may you feel the strength of a community that holds you, supports you, and says:<br>I am with you.</p><p>Shabbat Shalom ✨🕯️</p><p><a href="https://babka.social/tags/ShabbatShalom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ShabbatShalom</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/IAmWithYou" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IAmWithYou</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Peace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Peace</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/HebrewByInbal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HebrewByInbal</span></a></p>

Hebrew by Inbal<p>Change comes fast—work, life, the unknown. It can feel overwhelming.</p><p>But the secret isn’t stopping it—it’s breathing through it.</p><p>Uncertainty isn’t the enemy. It’s life asking you to trust deeper.</p><p>Growth happens in the pause, in the breath, between what was and what will be.</p><p>You don’t need all the answers—just the next breath, the next step. Trust the process.</p><p>This Shabbat, breathe deep and know you’re strong enough to move through change with grace.</p><p>Shabbat Shalom 💙</p><p><a href="https://babka.social/tags/ShabbatShalom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ShabbatShalom</span></a></p>
Hebrew by Inbal<p>This week, I opened up to my email family about some of the challenges I'm facing as a Jewish Israeli business owner.</p><p>The truth about Amazon targeting my books is alarming. </p><p>It's terrifying to see things unfold that I never thought I'd experience. </p><p>The world seems chaotic, and the hate is overwhelming. </p><p>Every day brings new obstacles that test our strength, values, and principles. </p><p>But I keep reminding myself: </p><p>We're built to endure. </p><p>When everything feels overwhelming, and it seems like the odds are against us, that's when we find our inner strength. </p><p>That's when we recall why we started this journey. </p><p>The noise will fade, the chaos will settle, but what we create with purpose and love will last. </p><p>As we welcome Shabbat, I'm choosing to trust that our love is stronger than their hate. </p><p>Our light is stronger than their noise.</p><p>Our community is more resilient than their systems. </p><p>We'll get through this together.</p><p>Shabat Shalom 💙🤍 שבת שלום</p><p><a href="https://babka.social/tags/ShabbatShalom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ShabbatShalom</span></a> <br><a href="https://babka.social/tags/Resilience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Resilience</span></a> <br><a href="https://babka.social/tags/Community" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Community</span></a></p>
Hebrew by Inbal<p>Shabbat Shalom, friends 🌸</p><p>Whether you observe Shabbat or not, I hope this weekend gives you a moment to pause, breathe, and reconnect with what truly matters. In Hebrew, there’s a powerful phrase I’ll teach you in today’s video — “Believe in yourself” — because faith isn’t just about the world around us, it’s also about the spark within us.</p><p>May your days ahead be filled with peace, purpose, and the confidence to chase your dreams. ✨</p><p><a href="https://babka.social/tags/Believe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Believe</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/ShabbatShalom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ShabbatShalom</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/HappyWeekend" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HappyWeekend</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/HebrewByInbal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HebrewByInbal</span></a></p>

Hebrew by Inbal<p>July was a month of personal and professional wins—fruit of years of effort.</p><p>Then I saw a video of Rom Breslevsky, 665 days in Hamas captivity—starved, broken—and my heart sank.</p><p>How do we celebrate while our people suffer?</p><p>The guilt is crushing. I live fully… while they can’t even see sunlight.</p><p>But then I remember: Am Yisrael Chai.</p><p>We live because of the pain, not in spite of it.</p><p>We build so they don’t win.</p><p>I can’t free the hostages—but I can speak their names, carry both joy and sorrow, and keep building with purpose.</p><p>We live. We build.

Hebrew by Inbal<p>This morning I almost stayed in bed. But I showed up—and I’m so glad I did.</p><p>There’s magic in gathering with people who want to grow, create, and lift each other up.</p><p>Today’s theme? Mentorship.</p><p>It reminded me: mentors don’t need titles. They’re the ones who believe in you, help you, say the right thing at the right time.</p><p>We can all be mentors and mentees.
