Class Name: Hebrew Through Torah SPRING Class Description: This is the continuation of Hebrew Through Torah FALL. Join us for an informal, organic introduction to the Hebrew language using verses from the weekly Parsha and snippets of the siddur as study texts. We’ll explore how words that look and sound very different are actually related. We’ll build upon the knowledge of Hebrew you already have, whether you know it or not! Expect the instructor to interject fun and surprising facts about language in general and about Hebrew’s interconnections with Arabic, Yiddish, English, Spanish, and more. Students should be familiar with the Hebrew aleph beit and vowel points; some knowledge of vocabulary and grammar is very useful but not required. Your level of active participation is up to you.
