Hebrew

The Hebrew language is the key to understanding the vast religious, halachic and literary heritage of the Jewish people, and to communicating with Jewish communities in the State of Israel and beyond. Hebrew courses at Frisch aim to vastly expand students’ vocabulary and knowledge of grammar, deepening their speaking, reading, writing and understanding skills. Frisch’s Hebrew program spans four years of study, and is tracked according to students’ previous knowledge and academic level. Beginner tracks start with the building blocks of the language, while the highest tracks delve deeply into complex vocabulary and syntax, morphology, and literature.
