6:30 PM, Have you always wanted to learn to read Hebrew but have never found the time? Are you thinking of signing up for the Adult Bnai Mitzvah class but want to sample a Hebrew class first? Did you learn to read Hebrew years ago but need a refresher course to brush up on your skills? Would you like to learn and/or review some of the special prayers we read on the High Holy Days? Then come to our HEBREW READING CRASH COURSE. Taught by Judy Jury, this 6 week course will be offered on Tuesday evenings from 6:30 – 8:00 P.M. on July 22, 29, August 5, 19, 26, and September 2. The first five weeks we will learn to decode Hebrew letters and vowels, and on September 2nd we will go through the Machzor (High Holy Day prayerbook) and read through many of the special prayers. There is no charge for this class as it is sponsored by the National Jewish Outreach Program. For further information or to register for the class, please call Judy Jury at (847) 433-7100.
