Learn the Aleph-bet
The first step to learning Hebrew is to learn the Aleph-bet. Since there are many videos on YouTube out there to do this, I have compiled some of my favorites. The first is a list of various songs and some explainer videos. The second is a series with Elmo meant for children in Israel, so it's immersion-style learning. Have fun!
Jewish Prayers & Blessings
I started creating lessons to learn the Jewish prayers and blessings.
There are many so I started with some that my students requested.
Trope the Torah
Learn how to chant the Torah as it is done in Jewish synagogues every Shabbat.
There are many variations, but the one I teach is a very common one.
Ancient Hebrew
The Te-ma-nee (Yemenite Jews) are known to have the most authentic pronunciation of the Hebrew language among Jewry today. What I love about learning Yemenite Hebrew is that all the nikkudot and te-amim - the vowel pointings and the trope marks, as well as the other marks that indicate a variance in the pronunciation of letters, are all given meaning and purpose.
