​For people who can read the letters and who want to participate fluently in Jewish services with growing understanding of the Hebrew prayers. A perfect next step after How to Read Hebrew.

Meeting online via Zoom
  • Approximately 25 sessions over the 2025 calendar year. Calendar below.
  • Meets approximately three times a month during the school year; just once a month in the summer.
  • Meeting time: Sundays, 4:00-5:15 pm Eastern time (exact calendar coming soon below)

​Before you begin: Learn the Hebrew alphabet and the basics of reading with vowels. You don't have to read fluently, just know the letters and vowels. If you need help with that, please register for How to Read Hebrew beginning October 27, 2024.
​
Goal of the Course:  ​If you want to participate fluently in Jewish services and follow along in the prayer book with understanding, this class is for you. Over the course of the the year, you will have constant "Aha!" moments as the words on the page and in your ears begin to have meaning. 

Instructor: Laura Lee Blechner has taught Hebrew at Mekom Torah for more than 10 years. She is a talented, patient, and kind educator with a devoted following of inspired students.

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.
