OFEK: Learn Hebrew, Israeli Spirit, Israeli Innovation, Enrichment, and more

  • Hadar S Markin Chicago, IL

    My Story

    Shalom! Iโ€™m Hadar Markin, a licensed K-12 educator with 15 years of experience teaching Hebrew and Jewish history in the Chicago area. Currently, Iโ€™m proud to be a Hebrew teacher at a public high school, where I bring my passion for language and culture to students of various backgrounds and skill levels.
    As a native Israeli, Iโ€™m dedicated to teaching Hebrew through authentic materials like TV commercials, music, and YouTube videos, believing that language learning thrives within the rich context of culture and history. My teaching experience spans formal Jewish day schools and innovative programs, catering to everyone from beginners to native speakers.
    Cooking is a personal joy, both at home and with my students. I love sharing my favorite Israeli recipes, hoping to bring a taste of Israeli cuisine into your home.
    Additionally, Holocaust education is a vital part of my work. Iโ€™ve contributed to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museumโ€™s Encyclopedia of Camps and Ghettos, 1933-1945, as a translator and researcher, with a focus on the experiences of North African communities.
    I hold an M.A. in Jewish Professional Studies, specializing in education from Spertus College, and a B.A. in Middle Eastern Studies, Honors Program, and Political Science from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
