Is Hebrew all Greek to you ?
Then join Rabbi Finkel as the PBJC Adult Education program presents:
? Left To Right From Go Hebrew Does Why
(Why Does Hebrew Go From Right to Left ?)
Rabbi Finkel will lead his students in an exploration of
some of the unique characteristics of the Hebrew language, among them:
Why
are the letters so different from other alphabets ?
Why
is the Torah (and Israeli newspapers) written without vowels ?
Why
was my grandparents’ Hebrew pronounced so differently from mine ?
(We will also explore other more exotic dialects.)
W
ho is Ashkenazic and who is S’fardic ?
Why
do we need 2 silent letters ?
and
Why
does Hebrew go from right to left ?
A complement to the Cantor’s Hebrew reading class by exploring the “Why’s”
