Hebrew
Adult Enrichment / Languages -
Winter 2023
Whether your goal is to speak to Israelis, read the Hebrew Bible in its original language, or follow along at Shabbat services, get a solid foundation in this unique language. Expect lively class discussions and optional weekly homework assignments.
Level 1: Start at the beginning with the Alef Bet and Hebrew vowels and progress to simple conversation and reading short texts.
Level 2: Discover the inner elegance of Hebrew grammar and become your own translator. After a quick review of Hebrew verbs in the past and future tenses, progress to more complex reading comprehension using examples drawn from modern life, the Bible, the Hebrew prayer book, and fairy tales.
Please note: Once the class reaches minimum enrollment, this text will be required for class The First Hebrew Primer: The Adult Beginner's Path to Biblical Hebrew, Third Edition 3rd Edition (if you don't already have it).
