For a long time in multimedia software development, Flash was the foundation. By the end of 2020, however, that era will come to an end. Users will no longer have any ability to run Flash-based apps or web programs.

What does that mean for Behrman House digital resources?

Apps

Our most popular Hebrew apps do not rely on Flash at all. 

This includes the following apps, all of which are designed to work on mobile devices.

It's a meshuggah* world, so we might as well have some fun.

And, really, who doesn't like to play with their food?

Nothing is more Jewish than a plate full of food. In these stressful times, we can find comfort in food - in a low calorie way. 

Created by Bill and Claire Wurtzel, Meshuggah Food Faces brings us an irreverent table full of funny faces to make us smile and find moments of inspiration in the simplest of places. 

Bill is an artist and jazz musician, so improvisation, even with food, comes naturally to him. He began making food art to amuse his wife when they were married in 1961. Claire is a longtime educator, and together they conduct workshops using the food art as a jumping off point for learning about nutrition.
