Conversational Hebrew

Conversational Hebrew is open to beginner students who are already reading-ready. If you have some familiarity or have taken any Modern Hebrew class prior, this class may be too basic for you. We will be using a textbook, reading aloud and practicing conversations together. The class will cover Hebrew language basics including gendered nouns, pronouns, adjectives, the present tense etc, and develop some basic sentence skills and vocabulary! Please purchase the following textbook online in preparation for this 6 week on-line class. Class participation is a requirement for this class!

A Taste of Mussar Thursdays, November 6 - December 18 (no class on November 13 or 27, makeup class TBA), 6:15 - 7:15pm with Rabbi Jason Klein – $180 for members, $280 for non-members

A Taste of Mussar

We Jews have a storied tradition of inheriting midot—measures of our character—from one generation to the next. The practice of mussar challenges us to align our values with our behaviors by living with just the right balance of individual midot such as lovingkindness, humility, or patience. This six week “taste” is an opportunity to begin looking at texts and exploring practices that pique our curiosity and make us more mindful.
