What you can expect to accomplish
Before you begin: You should have at least a basic knowledge of the Hebrew alphabet. Please contact Rabbi Plotkin for help getting up to speed. As long as you’ve made a start, your reading will get smoother rapidly as you begin to understand the language!
How this is like a college course: There will be homework. Consistent attendance is expected. Commitment is paramount!
How this is different from a college course: It’s fun and welcoming, with no grades, just encouragement and pay-off for hard work. Examples are drawn from familiar passages in the Bible, Jewish liturgy, holiday practice, and other famous Jewish texts.
