Its Chanukah Time! Have you figured out what youre going to give during each night of Chanukah? Maybe, youre just going to give a gift on the First and Eighth day of the Holiday, but even then, what are you going to give? WellWhy not Hebrew?
Unfortunately, an amazing number of people studied Hebrew as a child, but over the years, they have let those Hebrew skills fall by the way side. Sometimes, as they become parents or enter their leisure years, the desire to learn Hebrew returns. In big cities, many of them take courses at the Jewish Community center, but in more remote places, many people turn to the computer to become their Hebrew teacher.
HebrewResources.com offers several products, which work well for adults and children. The first program in their series is "At Home with Hebrew". It teaches how to read and recognize all the Hebrew letters and vowels, along some basic vocabulary (both modern and biblical).
"Hebrew Kindergarten", despite the name, is not just for young children. It's called Kinergarten, because it starts at the very beginning with the basics of nouns, verbs, and adjectives.
For those more interested in learning traditional liturgy and Hebrew prayers, the ideal gift would be "Songs of the Sabbath" (or in Hebrew "Shirei Ha-Shabbat"). This package includes both an audio-CD with modern tunes to the ancient liturgy, and a software program which teaches many of the more traditional synagogue tunes.
The cantor chosen for "Songs of the Sabbath" is really amazing. You can click buttons on the computer to hear the parts of the prayers, either word-by-word, or line-by-line, or you can hear the entire song at once.
The gift of Hebrew makes the perfect gift for those preparing for Bar/Bat Mitzvah. Perhaps you are planning on a trip to Israel in the coming year? Whether youre a beginner or not, these programs will get you ready for your trip.
Today, it's amazing how many Christians are also learning the basics of Hebrew. Many find the Bible coming more alive with a simple knowledge of Hebrew and Jewish practices. Many times, the King James Version or modern translations hide some of the simple truths found there.
Whether you celebrate Chanukah or Christmas, consider giving the "gift of Hebrew". Any of the above tutorials can keep a student busy for months, so they are truly gifts that give all year round. Even if you miss the winter holidays, you can start Hebrew as a New Years resolution, or any time of the year. - 16928
