Learners will quickly grasp the Hebrew alphabet and begin to recognize familiar words and blessings, follow along in the siddur (prayer book), and confidently participate in Jewish rituals and prayer spaces in a new way. This class will meet onsite at Temple Israel. No prior Hebrew experience is needed – only curiosity, patience, and a willingness to dive in.
