Ongoing Opportunities….

LEARN TO READ BIBLICAL HEBREW, FOR FREE AND ACCORDING TO YOUR OWN SCHEDULE:

From Jill Maidhof, Chair of the Adult Education Committee:

I highly recommends an online program called Aleph With Beth. https://freehebrew.online/how-it-works/
DO read how the program works and how you can access resources.

Two notes:
1) It looks at first glance like a child’s program. IT IS NOT!
2) It’s produced by a Christian couple, revealed by their use of the term Yaweh instead of the Adonai. I’ve watched over 100 lessons and “Yaweh” is the only Christian reference in the program. I just substitute “Adonai” as I watch.
