Prayerbook/Biblical Hebrew 3
- Pacific Time Virtual Program
$115.00
Ready to bridge the gap between basic reading and true liturgical fluency? This course is the final installment of our three-part foundational sequence, designed for students with a 250-word vocabulary who are ready to tackle the complexities of sacred texts. We move beyond the present and past to master the future tense, imperative forms, and the unique Hebrew verb reversals found throughout the Bible and the Siddur. Whether you are continuing from Hebrew 2 or seeking a rigorous grammar review, this course provides the tools to unlock the deeper meaning of the Tanakh and Jewish liturgy.
You’ll learn
- Possessive endings for plural nouns
- The future tense
- How Hebrew verbs reverse tense
- Imperative and infinitive verb forms
- Additional Hebrew verb patterns
Required text: Prayerbook Hebrew the Easy Way, available for sale at Afikomen Judaica in Berkeley and other outlets. Please purchase the book before the first session. Additional texts/materials provided by instructor at no charge.
Who this is for
- Students who have completed Prayerbook/Biblical Hebrew 1 and 2 (or equivalent).
- Intermediate learners familiar with basic grammar who want to master future tense and complex verb patterns.
- Anyone seeking a deeper, more grammatical connection to the prayerbook and biblical texts.
What you'll leave with
- The ability to identify and translate plural possessive endings and reversed tenses in traditional texts.
- A functional mastery of imperatives and infinitives, essential for reading commandments and liturgical poetry.
- A solid foundational grammar that allows you to transition from "deciphering" Hebrew to truly reading it with comprehension.
