Program Fee:
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.
Each week, you’ll receive links for two recorded sessions and homework reviews. You’ll also be able to attend live online study sessions with the instructor to cover any questions you may have. And you’ll finish just in time to start the next semester of the Hebrew 1-2-3 sequence in late January.
Required text: Prayerbook Hebrew the Easy Way is available for sale at Afikomen Judaica in Berkeley and other outlets. Please purchase the book before the first session.
8 sessions: two released each week on December 26, January 2, 9 and 16.
Live online review sessions from 7–7:30pm on December 28, January 4, January 11 and January 18.
