Biblical Hebrew

Margaret Kendle

Students will learn to read, write, and understand biblical Hebrew in a friendly, student-paced environment.  Whether one's goal is more meaningful engagement of our liturgy or a deeper interpretation of biblical texts, this is a fun way to enhance one's personal experience.  Beyond the broad vocabulary base that is acquired, much of the Torah's not-so-subtle meaning can be appreciated as its brilliant literary devices become evident.  We will utilize the Tanach, The First Hebrew Primer by EKS Publishing Co., Mishkan T'filah by CCAR Press, and interactive activities to expedite student learning.
