Let's study the coming week's Torah portion in Hebrew! The original language always yields secrets and nuances about the time and place, culture and mores. Are you taking a Hebrew class on Monday evenings? Then come and join us for some Hebrew reading practice. The objective is to understand the p'shat, the basic simple literal meaning of the text without exegesis. We will also look at commentary in Hebrew by Rashi, the pre-eminent 11th century commentator. You will find that most words of the Torah are still in use in Modern Hebrew.
