When I think over the past month, there have been a plethora of Jewish festivals; the synagogues have been abuzz with people, activity; prayer. But one thing that has stood out for me is that fact that so many people did not know how to read Hebrew. Certainly, some people, when they were kids, went […]
How is Hebrew Read
Read Hebrew Online
Wow, the Jewish community is the middle of such a busy period, so many festivals, so much praying, so much food – and so much Hebrew reading! If anyone asks me “why should I learn to read Hebrew?” I will say one word – festivals. The Jewish festivals revolve around prayer, praising G-d, and the […]
Learn to read Hebrew in one day
Learn to read Hebrew in one day? Interesting that you ask this question! Can it be done? Well, after having taught a special course that teaches adults who are interested in learning to read Hebrew for over 10 years; I can say unequivocally that it does work. This course that my father taught me helps […]
Read Hebrew
Reflecting on what I wrote in my last post, about teaching children to learn to read Hebrew, got me thinking about my time teaching year 12 olds Hebrew reading at a Hebrew and Religion school. The class was divided into a few groups. Group 1: the children who knew how to read Hebrew fast; group […]
How do you read Hebrew

Learn To Read Hebrew Online
Life as a daughter of a Rabbi was anything but “normal” (well, at least in my opinion!) We weren’t allowed to watch television on Friday evenings or Saturdays, because it was the Jewish Sabbath (Shabbat). Every Friday evening I had to accompany my father to the Synagogue, where everything was read in Hebrew! I suppose […]
Learn To Read Hebrew
As I mentioned before, my Hebrew reading journey started from day 1! I mentioned that I was born on Sukkot, and once I came home from the hospital, I can only imagine that we would have had quite a few visitors to wish my parents well. It is very common amongst Jewish people to use […]
