Introduction to Hebrew. Monday evenings, March 1, 8, 15, 22. 7-8:30 p.m. Taught by Rabbi Steve Kirschner. Hebrew has been the language of the Jewish people for over three millennia.  This class focuses on the Hebrew alphabet and is intended for those wishing to learn the Hebrew letters and vowels as a step in their journey of learning Hebrew. Participants are also encouraged to enroll in Biblical Hebrew, which follows this course. Kehillah library. $36/members, $54/nonmembers. Please purchase a book before the class: Learn Hebrew Today: Alef-Bet for Adults, by Paul Michael Yedwab, with Howard I. Bogot (available through Amazon).

Biblical Hebrew, Part 1. Monday evenings, April 12, 19, 26 and May 3, 10, 17.    7-8:30 p.m. Taught by Rabbi Steve Kirschner. Even today, despite the Internet and publishers such as Artscroll and Metsudah, a huge array of Jewish texts remains untranslated and accessible only to those who can read Hebrew. Even those with but a bit of Hebrew knowledge can unlock nuances in biblical texts and prayers which would have remained opaque otherwise. This course focuses on the grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary of Biblical Hebrew. Kehillah library. $54/members, $72/nonmembers.

Please join Simone, Hal and Cora at the Kehillah as they present their story of this incredible history and recent reunion.
