NEW AT TEMPLE BETH TIKVAH: LEARN TO READ HEBREW!
(Adult Education Course)
When you pick up a Hebrew prayer book - do you have to rely on the transliterations to follow the service? Perhaps you have a child or grandchild preparing for their Bar/Bat Mitzvah? Wouldn't you love to read the Hebrew when you are called up to the Bimah to read a blessing or a prayer?
Well, now you can!
Offered weekly via zoom on Tuesdays at 7:00-8:00pm, starting on March 16, 2021 (for 8-10 weeks, or until all students are done with the required book, see below).
This easy-to-follow, beginners class will help you become familiar with the Hebrew alphabet and teach you how to read Hebrew step-by-step.
Required Text: We use the booklet Teach Yourself to Read Hebrew
Optional: You can obtain the audio companion as well (both available on Amazon, used or new).
Instructor: Rabbi Jeffrey Kurtz-Lendner, who will guide us through the learning process. We will proceed through the material slowly and methodically in order to maximize everyone's ability to learn and pave the way to becoming a proficient Hebrew reader!
