Our Team – Zehud

Meet the Team

We have hired the best and the brightest teachers, all of whom are Hebrew speakers and who have each spent significant amounts of time teaching children in some of the best Jewish Institutions in the diaspora.

Tal Bassali

Founder & Principal

Zehud was founded by Tal Bassali who was born in the UK, who lived for some years in Israel, and who now lives in Venice with her husband and three children. Recognising that the level of Hebrew and Judaic Studies
education that she wanted for her children was simply unavailable in Venice, Tal believed that the technology tools that she used in her day job a successful marketing consultant could be used to harness the educational needs of her children, and from this vision, Zehud was born.

I am very excited to join ZEHUD and teach Hebrew in Hebrew! In Israel, I’ve been teaching in elementary schools for children with special needs, teaching literature, creative writing, and mentoring new teachers (in Israel and New York).

I studied Theatre at The School of Performing Arts . In addition, I received my bachelor’s degree for Special Education and literature at Seminar Hakibutzin college of Tel Aviv, Israel. I came to New York as an ambassador of the Jewish Agency to fulfill my dream and teach Hebrew in the Diaspora. During those years in America, as a Hebrew learning specialist and a director, I discovered and developed fascinating curriculums and methods that led my students to write, read, speak, and develop a deep love for the Hebrew language. I am now based in Israel.

I cannot wait to see how much we are going to learn from each other and grow.
