Beginning Hebrew – Rabbi Ethan Seidel

This is a continuation of the fall session. Anyone who can read Hebrew words (even haltingly) is welcome to try the class. We‘ll study out of Th e First Hebrew Primer (EKS Publishing Co.), which you can buy yourself, or have me order for you. Though you are welcome to just show up to the first class unannounced, it would be helpful for me if you let me know of your interest, so I can get a sense of the potential size of the class.

Warning: Th is class is serious. There is homework every week, so you need to be sure you have time during the week for homework, in addition to the class time. To be sure, at the beginning of the class there isn’t all that much homework. But as with learning any language, the more you know, the more complicated the homework is going to be. By the end of the course (typically, this class lasts almost two years), you will be able to read and understand most sentences in the Torah, the narrative sections in the rest of the Tanach, as well as the Hebrew of the Siddur.

Sundays • 11 a.m. - noon • Classes begin on January 8
