The Invitation

Come and hear.

Jerusalem Seminary’s School of Hebrew exists to do one thing well: to help you read the Hebrew Scriptures in the language they were written in. We teach Biblical Hebrew as a living language — spoken, sung, prayed, and read — with Israeli teachers who help unpack the language using their native Hebrew.

This September we’re opening the classroom for an hour. A live taster where you meet the teachers, sit inside a real lesson, and ask whatever you’d like to know.

Both days follow the same format. Choose the time that fits your part of the world.

Who This Is For

This hour is for you if…

No prior Hebrew needed, and no commitment. Come, listen, and decide later.

Why a Living Language

Hebrew, treated as what it is.

We believe the fastest, deepest, and most joyful way into Biblical Hebrew is to treat it as what it is: a living language. From the earliest lessons, students speak it, sing it, pray it, and tell its stories, all while building their reading to a level of real excellence.

Our teachers are local Israeli followers of Jesus who read the Bible in Hebrew as their primary text. They bring a natural feel for the language that isn’t found anywhere else in the world.

Questions

Asked and answered

Do I need to attend both days?

No. The two sessions cover the same taster — pick whichever time works for you.

Do I need to know any Hebrew already?

Not at all. The lesson starts at the beginning and assumes no prior study.

Will it be recorded?

The whole point is the live lesson, so we’d encourage you to join us in real time.

Can I come if I’m not ready to enroll?

Of course. Many who join are simply exploring, and there’s no obligation.

What will we actually be doing?

A real taste of how we teach our live online courses — hearing, speaking, and reading a Biblical Hebrew text together.

Can I study with you from outside Israel?

Yes. All our Hebrew courses are live and online. We’ll explain exactly how during the Q&A.

I have a question that isn’t answered here.

Write to us at hebrew@jerusalemseminary.org — we’d be glad to help.
