Instructor: Rabbi Helen Plotkin has taught Biblical Hebrew for 20 years at Swarthmore College, in the departments of Classics and Religion.
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. Consider registering for Learning to Read Hebrew, in February 2020. 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.
Tuition: For more information please fill out the form below, or contact Dan Cedarbaum (dan@kaplancenter.org), director of the Kaplan Center for Jewish Peoplehood. Tuition assistance is available.
