Course Description:
Introduction to Hebrew Decoding and Prayer is an introductory course designed for anyone interested in learning to read Hebrew, or to brush up on Hebrew reading skills. Students will learn the Hebrew alphabet (letters and vowels) and strategies to decode Hebrew words. In addition, we will explore the concept of root letters and how words that contain the same roots have related meanings. Using our newly acquired Hebrew reading skills, we will practice reading portions of prayers that are part of the Shabbat and daily liturgy. This is not a conversational Hebrew course.

Students should purchase the book: Aleph Isn’t Tough: An Introduction to Hebrew for Adults Book 1.
