About Hebrew College

Founded in 1921 and located in Newton, MA, Hebrew College is dedicated to rigorous, pluralistic Jewish education that supports a vibrant and inclusive Jewish community. The College prepares Jewish professionals and lifelong learners with strong foundations in classical Jewish studies and the tools to navigate contemporary Jewish life. Through graduate programs, adult-learning opportunities, and youth-education initiatives, Hebrew College connects serious academic study with real-world community needs. The institution embraces diverse forms of Jewish expression and practice, encouraging open dialogue and respect for multiple perspectives. Hebrew College also welcomes individuals from other faiths who wish to engage with Jewish learning, culture, and conversation.

The Rabbinical School of Hebrew College is looking for an instructor for Intermediate Biblical Hebrew, a year-long course during the 2026-2027 academic year.

Course Description
This course is designed to sharpen students’ Biblical Hebrew reading and translation skills across two semesters. It builds on skills that were covered in Introduction to Biblical Hebrew, a year-long survey of Biblical Hebrew. The first semester of Intermediate Biblical Hebrew offers an intensive review of key grammatical and syntactical concepts that were introduced in the Introduction to Biblical Hebrew. The second semester builds on this foundation by focusing on syntax as well as exploring more advanced and irregular aspects of Biblical Hebrew grammar.

There is no pre-set curriculum for this course, so the ideal candidate will be prepared to develop a curriculum adapted to the skill levels of students in the course. Topics to be covered include a review of verb and noun morphology and an exploration of common syntactic patterns, with considerable latitude to develop additional themes and topics pending instructor and student interest.

Because most students are simultaneously enrolled in a year-long Bereishit course, the instructor may choose to align course readings and topical studies with the progression of the Bereishit curriculum.

The course meets Tuesdays and Thursdays, 2:30-4:00 pm, throughout the academic year. Compensation is $7500 per semester.

Interested candidates should send a cover letter and CV to Rabbi Daniel Klein, Dean of the Rabbinical School ([email protected]). The cover letter should indicate relevant language training, teaching and curriculum design experience, and the candidate’s pedagogical philosophy as it relates to teaching a course at the postgraduate/professional school level and in the pluralistic context of the Rabbinical School of Hebrew College.
