Beginning Hebrew in Non-Binary Times

This class is an introduction to the Hebrew language with a regular garnish of genderqueer linguistics. People of all genders and backgrounds are welcome! We'll cover all letters and vowels, with beginning vocabulary and grammar. And we'll explore the fascinating ways that today's Hebrew is expanding through feminist, trans and non-binary creativity. This class is paced for beginners who have no exposure to Hebrew, but all are welcome to participate as a refresher. You can register to participate in this hybrid class in person at Sha'ar Zahav, or online. Taught by Rabbi Reuben Zellman.

Dates: Mondays October 21 - December 9 (not 11/18), plus Shabbat evening Friday December 13

Learning to read the prayer book

A continuation of our beginning Hebrew class, this course is for students who have already learned the Hebrew alphabet and know some basic vocabulary. This class will provide opportunities to practice reading and decoding Hebrew, and expand your Hebrew vocabulary.  Additionally, we shall study several key prayers in the Congregation Sha’ar Zahav’s siddur (prayer book).  This class provides a friendly and supportive learning environment, and patience and sensitivity will be shown to adult learners with limited time for study. New students that have already mastered the Hebrew alphabet (or who have mostly mastered the Hebrew alphabet) are encouraged to join!  

Teacher: Michael Lederman
Dates: Thursdays, October 31-December 19 (not 11/28)
Time: 7:30-8:30pm
Location: On Zoom
