We offer Hebrew classes for almost every stage of Hebrew language experience and comfort level.  Hebrew classes can be taken to prepare for an Adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah, to deepen one’s prayer or study of text, or just to improve one’s conversational Hebrew ability.

Hebrew Conversation with Rabbi Sam Broude
First Thursday of every month, 7:30pm to 9:30pm
Come practice your conversational Hebrew in a stress-free, fun environment.  Once a month we share tea and sweets and talk about just about anything.  No exams, no pressure, just l'daber b'Ivrit.  Join Rabbi Sam and Judith Broude with several other SLOW SPEAKING congregants.  Learn a word or two.  Have KEF!  Your level of competence is not important.
