Hebrew

Whether your goal is to read the Hebrew Bible in its original language or follow along at synagogue services, these courses will provide you with a solid foundation in this unique language. Classes are conducted in English with a focus on biblical texts and grammar. Expect lively discussions and optional weekly homework assignments. Both levels will enjoy Hebrew in the wild.

Level 4A:  For students who know 150+ Hebrew words, can conjugate simple verbs in the past and future tenses, can compose a simple Hebrew sentence, are familiar with Hebrew demonstratives and adjectives, or have already taken Level 3D. 

Level 7: Discover the inner elegance of Hebrew grammar and become your own translator. We will focus on Biblical and prayerbook Hebrew, using examples drawn from the Bible, the Hebrew prayer book, and fairy tales rendered in Biblical Hebrew. You should be familiar with Hebrew verbs in the past, future, and present tenses in binyan Pa'al, binyan Pi'el, and binyan Hif’il. We will start in Chapter 26 of The First Hebrew Primer and also review previous chapters.

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).
