Midweek Hebrew at Nitzanim

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 students, 4th grade and up. Classes meet the first three Wednesday afternoons each month at Congregation Ner Shalom in Cotati.

Each session launches school-wide with song, conversation, and play — helping young people build comfort with basic Hebrew vocabulary and communication.

The Basics Class | 4:00–5:00 PM For students new to Hebrew: master the alef-bet and Hebrew pronunciation, connecting the written word to what students have already learned orally.

Parents are welcome to register and learn alongside their children at no extra charge — a wonderful opportunity for side-by-side learning!

The Continuing Class | 5:00–6:00 PM For students building on existing skills: increase reading proficiency and explore Torah chanting, Shabbat prayers, and the rich musical traditions of Jewish communities around the world.

Ner Shalom’s Nitzanim Program is here to meet your family’s learning needs. We do that through family-wide experiential learning (usually in nature), Hebrew study, B.Mitzvah preparation, and Torah Lishmah, our post-B.Mitzvah Academy class. These program components complement and support each other. Under the leadership of Youth & Families Education Director, Mia Zimman, and with the involvement of Rabbi Irwin and a skilled faculty, we look forward to helping your family enrich your sense of Jewish values, connection, literacy, and practice.
