Prayerbook/Biblical Hebrew 1: Fast Track
This eight-session course covers all the basics found in our Fall Hebrew 1 class in just four weeks. You’ll begin to learn to read, understand and appreciate Prayerbook passages, and lay the foundation for study of the Hebrew Bible. We start at the beginning, teaching the alphabet and sight-reading skills, then move on to build both vocabulary and grammar knowledge using the text Prayerbook Hebrew the Easy Way. And along the way, you’ll learn about related topics, from key Prayerbook melodies to the origins of Hebrew to life in the Biblical world.
