Learn to Read Hebrew: Spring 2024

Learn to Read Hebrew: Level 1

This onsite, beginner-level class is designed for anyone wanting to learn or review the Hebrew alphabet and become comfortable decoding Shabbat and holiday blessings and becoming familiar with recurring Hebrew words and phrases in Shabbat and holiday prayers. This course assumes no prior Hebrew experience, and all are welcome. 

This is a 7-session class that meets onsite at Temple Israel and is led by veteran educator Debbie Betesh. As a Jewish educator for 30+ years, Debbie takes lifelong Jewish learning very seriously and loves working with motivated adult learners who set aside time in their busy weeks to add Hebrew decoding/reading to their broad knowledge base.  When not teaching, Debbie loves to take long walks, read, and keep up with the comings and goings of her 6 adult children and 9 (and counting) grandchildren.

Class dates: 

February 27, March 5, March 12, March 19, March 26, April 2,  April 9
