Rabbi Dr. Maury Hoberman will offer the following three
courses:
Learning to Read Hebrew
After a very successful Beginner’s
Hebrew class last year, we will offer the course again this year. The goal of the class is to be able to read Siddur prayers. Rabbi Dr. Maury Hoberman will teach the class that will meet every other Sunday. The first few classes will meet at KI but will possibly switch to a computer based class using a free Zoom app. Each participant will diligently practice reading on their own and have a phone meeting with a mentor each week. The mentor will listen to you read and make suggestions when needed. The cost is approximately $36 to cover the cost of books. For more information, contact hoberman.maury@gmail.com.
