Have you ever noticed how radically different the Hebrew Bible seems in different translations? If you want to understand the enigma of this text…if you want to experience it through your own eyes… if you want to plumb its depths, appreciate its beauty, and confront its challenges… you must read it as it has come down to us from ancient times, that is, in Hebrew. When you can strip away the layers of interpretation to bare its inner soul, then you can begin to understand its role in the great religious and cultural traditions that whirl around it.

Hebrew for Text Study I (Relg 57/Ling 7) will be offered in Spring 2009. This course is normally offered only in the fall, so you have an unusual opportunity to get started learning Hebrew now. M-W-F 9:30–10:20, in the
Beit Midrash.

Contact Helen Plotkin with any questions, or if you already have some Hebrew background and wonder which level is right for you.

Club Despertar will be hosting a bilingual tutor training workshop led by Kate Grossman on Sunday, Nov. 23 and Monday, Nov. 24 from 7–9pm in Hicks 211. Snacks and refreshments will be served.
