Want to learn to read the Hebrew aleph-bet from scratch, or strengthen your skill with the letters and sounds? Join us for Ammud’s Intro to Hebrew class!
The ancient kings of Yisrael kept a Torah scroll next to their thrones, so that they would Read It – Kara Vo – and it would remain with them all the days of their lives (Devarim 17:18-19). Reading the Hebrew aleph-bet is a first step towards making Torah yours, a lifelong companion.
