About Hebrew Literacy
This class meets Thursdays, January 8 – March 26 from 7:00 – 9:00 pm. Each session is 2 hours long. Class will meet in-person on January 8 and March 26, 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. Sixth & I has a very limited number of books available to be purchased during registration. Other participants are responsible for purchasing the textbook.
Registration for this series closes on January 5 at 5:00 pm.
