Intermediate Prayerbook/Biblical Hebrew 2A (Spring)

This course is no longer offered.

L200A-NS

The third semester of the introductory sequence of Biblical Hebrew grammar, this course covers the more complex features of the language commonly found in Biblical and Siddur (prayerbook) texts. After a brief review of material covered in the previous semester, we will continue to introduce features of the verbal system and new grammatical components. Students will begin to translate simple Biblical passages and more lengthy Prayerbook passages to develop reading and comprehension skills.

Prerequisite: Lehrhaus Judaica's Beginning Prayerbook/Biblical Hebrew 1A-1B, or equivalent.

Required text: Prayerbook Hebrew the Easy Way, available at Afikomen Judaica. Please purchase the book before the first session.
