Merkaz Ivrit, an established institute for teaching conversational Hebrew, will offer a 22-class series at Temple Jeremiah beginning this fall. A variety of classes are offered for all levels of proficiency, including for beginners.

Instructors are highly qualified and experienced and employ exciting interactive methodology to encourage learning. Israeli newspapers, videos, music and literature are used to integrate Israeli cultural topics into Hebrew language learning.

The beginning course is designed for students with no prior knowledge and introduces them to the foundation of the Hebrew language. Students will learn the alphabet along with vowels which facilitate reading at the introductory level. They will also learn to recognize and write cursive Hebrew script and will acquire some fundamental conversational skills.
