A Skirball Academy Class
Michal Nachmany
Prayerbook Hebrew
Designed for students already able to read basic Hebrew, this class will serve as a bridge to Hebrew prayers and Torah portions. After reviewing reading fundamentals, we will strengthen your fluency by building vocabulary and grammar through the prayer book, introducing basic Hebrew roots – the foundation of the language – and working on sentence structure to support understanding and confident reading.
By the end of the course, students will be able to recognize key grammatical structures, expand their Hebrew vocabulary, and read prayer texts with greater confidence and understanding.
