ALEF-BET: Beginning Hebrew for Adults

​

"ALEF – BET: Beginning Hebrew for Adults" will be offered at Temple Beth Shalom of the West Valley. TBSWV Board Vice President Mariane Anderson will teach the three-month course, which will be from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Tuesdays: Oct. 7, 14, 21 and 28; Nov. 4,11,18 and 25 and Dec. 2, 9, 16 and 23. Deadline for registration is Oct. 1.

It’s never too late to learn to read Hebrew!  Here is your chance. Beginning from scratch, we will go through each of the Hebrew letters as well as each vowel and explain how you put together sounds and eventually words.

​

This will be a beginning course for those who would like to read prayer book Hebrew. It will require some practice at home and some perseverance after the course ends but it is definitely possible to learn to read the Hebrew letters from the prayer book. Even if you are not entirely successful, the familiarity with Hebrew that you will acquire will make you feel more connected to the Friday night prayer service and Judaism as a whole.

​

Mariane has many years of experience teaching Hebrew to children and adults. She has taught group classes as well as tutoring one to two students. Her previous students will tell you that she is very patient.

​

The cost for the 12-week course is $35 per month, which includes all course materials.  Contact the Temple Office at 623.977.3240 or templebethshalomaz@gmail.com to register and make payment.
