What is a Torah?

A Torah scroll is more than just a sacred text; it's a living symbol of Jewish tradition, heritage, wisdom, and spirituality. The Torah contains the five books of Moses, representing the foundation of Jewish faith. It's a source of inspiration, learning, and unity for all. As someone who has dedicated over 20 years to being a Jewish educator in Los Angeles, I've had the privilege of nurturing and inspiring students of all ages. When you rent a Torah from us, you're not just renting a scroll; you're engaging with the wisdom and tradition I've dedicated my life to sharing.

The Use of the Ark and a Reading Table

Our rental includes an exquisite Torah Ark and a Reading Table to ensure your event is imbued with the holiness and reverence it deserves. The Ark is a sanctuary for the Torah, symbolizing the protective shelter of God's word, reminiscent of the ark carried by the Israelites through the desert, which held the tablets of the Ten Commandments. The Reading Table becomes the focal point of your celebration, where the Torah comes to life as it's read (chanted) and shared with your loved ones. It's an honor for us to share with you these sacred elements, as they hold a special place in our hearts as well.

Is Hebrew difficult to learn?

Yes and No. Wait what?

Hebrew can be a hard language for English natives. However, the Hebrew grammar might make the language easier to learn than you might think!

For those who do not speak the Hebrew language, vowels are essential. The problem is how can one read accurately, when similar looking vowels (dots and dashes) have different sounds? The answer is, it is (almost) impossible!

This is where Hebrew Guru Color Coded Vowels Method will help you to master Hebrew once and for all!

A clear, lucid and immensely helpful guide to learning Hebrew. Takes the reader by the hand and introduces the holy tongue in living color.

We all have superpowers. Teaching Hebrew is one of my superpowers.

I am passionate about helping English speakers – beginners and advanced Hebrew students – go from feeling overwhelmed by their continuous Hebrew learning efforts to becoming confident, fluent Hebrew readers and speakers.

I achieve this by teaching Hebrew in fun and easy steps, while fitting into your already busy schedule. Hi, my name is Yakira, and I was born and raised in Israel. What started off as a two-week vacation in Los Angeles, CA back in the summer of 1995, has morphed into a creative, successful, and rewarding teaching career, with more than a thousand students.

Hebrew Guru Mission is to help people of all ages, with different learning abilities, to excel in Hebrew. My method is a simple and effective way to learn to read the language of the Bible.<br
