Modern Hebrew I: Foundations
We will learn how to read, write, speak, sing and listen, with understanding, to the Modern Hebrew of today – as spoken in Israel (& here) by Israelis and connection to our heritage and the Jewish book closet. We start from the very beginning and go with the pace of the group!
Everyone is welcome!
Modern Spoken Hebrew II
Hebrew for parents and all other adults
This is a continuing course. It is designed for learning from scratch Spoken Modern Hebrew. Our children attend Hebrew school, and this is an opportunity for all interested parents to enjoy the Hebrew learning, have an opportunity to share experiences within your family and enjoy the journey of Hebrew learning and understanding when traveling to Israel, meeting Israelis in our community and develop a good understanding of Israeli culture as well. Come build generational bridges with us and the magical renewed Hebrew language to keep it alive.
