Description: Created by the experience and background of Rabbi Linda Motzkin in consultation with the expert scholarship of the UAHC Hebrew Literacy Task Force, this new Hebrew book for adult learners is groundbreaking in its structure and as an effective educational tool. Piloted by Reform congregations throughout the country, the book is the first step in a program of Hebrew learning for adults. By carefully introducing the letters and vowels of the Hebrew alphabet, the goal is to develop the reader's ability to de-code written Hebrew words as well as to ground the learning of Hebrew in the broader sense of its use in Jewish life, ritual, study, and tradition. Each chapter introduces two or three Hebrew letters and, through instructional drills and exercises, the reader progressively becomes familiar with key Hebrew vocabulary and its role in Jewish tradition, text, and prayer.
