I am a grandmother of 8 that used to speak enough Hebrew to get by well enough in Israel. I also taught beginning Hebrew, but for many years I have not used it at all and have forgotten most of it. I want to learn again and I want to teach my grandchildren Hebrew! My weakest point was always book print. All of the scrolly letter sometimes confuse me because I learned by writing, not reading. This course should be a great new beginning.
Thank You for the opportunity!

I have been interested in learning Hebrew for a while. It will be so nice to see what God really says through His Word!

I’m waiting for your course of Hebrew. I’m glad that I can be part of first group of students during this course because Hebrew is amazing for me and I’d like to learn it very well.

G-d, through Torah, has taught me that I am part of Israel. He has given me a determination to defend Israel through His power and through prayer. He has placed on my heart a desire to serve Israel by serving the IDF (http://dover.idf.il/IDF/English/). Before I go, I’d like to have a grasp of Hebrew so I can communicate with my brothers and sisters. I have started learning the Alef Bet using Instant Hebrew (http://www.instanthebrew.com) and have felt the joy of being able to pronounce the basic building blocks of our Holy language. May G-d continue to bless your endeavors as you work to bless the nations.

Prayer is an important part of my relationship with G_D. When praying at Temple, even though I am able to follow the service, it has been a source of disappointment that I am not reading, pronouncing, nor understanding. This will give me tool to accomplish this. Thank you:-)

I’m an Industrial Designer from the National University of Colombia and I recently did a CELTA (Certificate of English Language Teaching to Adults) from the University of Cambridge. Besides that teaching I sing and write as a hobby.
I’m currently teaching at La Salle University in the Engineering faculty and in the Language Centre.
Besides that, I teach English at the Beit Sefer Shekinah (my community’s school). I’m also teaching Pre-basic Hebrew to some fellow friends at my Sinagogue. (I don’t charge for the latest of course)
The main reason for me to learn hebrew is because I really want to be able to read and understand the bible much better, and because I want to become a Chazan.
I’m already allowed to sing a few prayers each Shabbath, but I’d really like to do that for a living, as well as, being better capacitated in order to teach hebrew in a better way at my community.
I’d also like to teache hebrew to my nieces and future nephews and own children. I want them all to read, write and speak hebrew (lashon hakodesh). One of my nieces loves hebrew just as much as I do.
Thanks for this great opportunity. It will be of great benefit for my family, my community and my own plans and dreams.
