                                                                            Hebrew

                                                                            Hebrew is the Holy Tongue, the language spoken by the angels and the key to traditional Jewish texts. The beauty of the Tanakh, the Hebrew Bible, the nuances of the liturgy, cannot be grasped without a knowledge of Hebrew. It is also a beautiful language the knowledge of which unlocks the riches of modern Israeli literature and can enhance your next trip to Israel. We offer two separate courses at the JCJ: Conversational Hebrew and Prayerbook Hebrew.
