Beginning Prayerbook/Biblical Hebrew 1A-B (Winter)
This course is no longer offered.
This class introduces students to all the basic elements of Prayerbook Hebrew: the alphabet, vowels, vocabulary, sight-reading skills, and basic grammar. You'll learn some of the key prayerbook melodies and discuss the meaning of the prayers. In-class instruction will include group practice with CD-ROM software (projected on a screen) that speeds the learning process. This course also provides a strong grammatical basis and some of the vocabulary for modern Israeli Hebrew. This course is the continuation of Fall 2011 Hebrew 1A.
Please Note: The first session takes place at Lehrhaus Judaica. All subsequent sessions take place at Netivot Shalom.
Required text: Prayerbook Hebrew the Easy Way, available at Afikomen Judaica. Please purchase the book before the first session.
