Want to truly understand those Jewish prayers and other religious texts that you’re reading in translation? Then you need to study Biblical Hebrew!
Biblical Hebrew differs from modern Hebrew, which is spoken in contemporary Israel, in small but important ways. By the end of this six-week course, you will be able to start reading and understanding simple Hebrew sentences in the Bible.
And if you want to go on to learn modern Hebrew, you will have learned the perfect foundation.
Students must be at least familiar with the Hebrew alphabet at the start of this course. You'll learn to apply the alphabet to building vocabulary for Torah study, and you’ll sharpen your Hebrew reading skills.
Your purchase gets you:
- Six classes of live instruction with Natasha Shabat, who has been teaching Hebrew to beginners for nearly 30 years
- Recordings of each class that won’t expire, so you can review what you’ve learned and continue the study on your own time
- Homework sheets and other materials designed to help you retain the material
- Access to a community of fellow learners whom you can connect with
Make this the year you finally learn Hebrew!
Purchases of this course are non-refundable.
