Beginning Prayerbook/Biblical Hebrew 1B

This course is no longer offered.

This is the second semester of an introductory survey of Hebrew grammar, focusing on sharpening prayerbook skills. We will continue with the aleph-bet, simple sentences and verb forms, and begin to focus on developing skills required to read and appreciate the prayerbook (siddur).

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