The Hebrew language is thought of as the tool that God used to create the world. After Not Being Spoken for Two Millennia, Hebrew, the sacred language of the Bible and Jewish prayer, was miraculously revived in the early 20th century, and became the spoken language in Israel.
It is no secret that choosing to be Jewish in the United States is expensive. Based on Temple’s membership enrollments alone, the numbers are in decline. Temples are merging in order to maintain and sustain their livelihood. The same applies to Religious schools, where Hebrew is being perceived as too difficult to master.
For those who do not speak Hebrew, reading Hebrew with vowels is essential. The problem is how can one read accurately, when similar looking vowels have different sounds? The answer is, it is impossible.
LEARN TO READ HEBREW IN 18 STEPS BOOK SERIES is a new method tuned to the social, emotional and psychological needs of students today, ensuring they’ll excel, enjoy and keep the Hebrew language and Judaism in America alive.
