HEBREW 1010
Monday & Wednesday
3:05-5:00 pm
Learn to read Hebrew Scripture (the “Old Testament”) in its original language from a rabbinic scholar. In this introductory course, you will learn the Hebrew alphabet, how to read passages phonetically, how to translate nouns, simple verbs and short verses. You will also learn the origins of Hebrew and its evolving history. Most importantly, you will learn how to translate this ancient text the way it was written, with multiple levels of meaning, enabling you to discover the roots of your own tradition, as well as that of other religious traditions in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Along the way you will be exposed to pre-biblical paleo-Hebrew, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and extra-biblical Jewish and Muslim stories and commentaries based on variant translations of the bible.
