Learn Hebrew beginners

 The phrase learn Hebrew beginners is not grammatically correct and is not commonly used in day-to-day conversation. However, it pinpoints exactly what it is trying to say. Essentially, it refers to beginners (people with no experience) learning Hebrew. There are so many people out there who fit into the category of learn Hebrew beginners. 

So many people are required to learn this ancient language. These people might be children who were born in Israel. Just like in any other country, the children are required to learn the language when they start school. Another group that fits into the learn Hebrew beginners category is children or adults who have moved to Israel to live there. When a Jewish person (whatever age they are) moves to Israel, this is called ‘making Aliyah’. Unrelated to the learn Hebrew beginners, the Hebrew word ‘aliyah’ means ‘going up’. It can mean both physically and spiritually. 

Another group of people who fit into this group are Jewish children who need to learn to read Hebrew for their Bar/ Bat Mitzvah ceremony. They are required to lead the congregation in prayer and read from the Torah and the Haftorah. 

There are two more groups who fit into this category, one of them being Christians who want to read the Bible in the original text and the other being adults who want to convert to Judaism. Those who are choosing to convert to Judaism need to learn Hebrew for a completely different reason than those who are Christians who want to read the Bible. The convertees need to be able to read the prayers that are read or sung in both the Synagogue and at home. Whereas Christians only need to focus on the Hebrew language in the Bible.
