Hebrew Literacy

This class meets Thursdays, January 14 – April 8 from 7:00 – 9:00 pm. Class will meet in person on January 14 and April 8, and the rest of the class will be virtual. Demystify the Hebrew alphabet as you learn the letters and vowels and how to combine them to “crack the code.” This course introduces reading Hebrew in an enjoyable yet focused atmosphere. Emphasis is placed on reading from the prayer book and words from Jewish cultural life. This course, taught by certified language instructor Keren Yairi, is for those with little to no prior Hebrew reading ability. Due to the cumulative nature of literacy learning, students should plan to attend class regularly and spend 20 minutes daily on home practice. The required textbook is Aleph Isn’t Tough by Linda Motzkin. Please ensure you’ve purchased the book before the class begins. About the Instructor Keren Yairi is a certified language instructor who has taught Hebrew as well as English literacy and English as Second/Other Language. She has also served as a consultant on education, language, and literacy projects. No one will be turned away from any of our classes due to lack of funds. For more information, please contact our Jewish Life Manager, Robyn. Registration for this series closes on Thursday, January 7 at 5:00 pm.
