Even a little knowledge of the Hebrew language provides keys to open the doors of Judaism’s treasure houses.

Nitzanim offers midweek Hebrew learning for beginning and continuing Hebrew students, 4th grade and up. Classes take place three Wednesday afternoons a month for one hour, on site at Ner Shalom in Cotati.

Our Midweek Hebrew Basics Class will help our young people master the decoding of the alef-bet and pronunciation of Hebrew words. Students will also learn beginning-level conversational Hebrew, and will spend some time engaging with the Torah scroll, seeing what they can pick out and what questions arise.

In our Midweek Hebrew Intermediate Class, students will increase their reading proficiency, deepen their conversational competency, and be introduced to principles of Torah chanting.

Both classes will learn through a mix of text, games, art, and activities.

Midweek Hebrew Basics will be taught by Reb Irwin Keller and Midweek Hebrew Intermediate Class by master teacher Ilana Vinizky.
