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.
Midweek Hebrew launches each session with school-wide song, conversation, and play, helping our young people build comfort with basic vocabulary and Hebrew communication.
The Basics Class then helps our young people master the decoding of the alef-bet and pronunciation of Hebrew words, so they can capture in the written word what they have already learned orally. Parents are invited to register to attend and learn Hebrew alongside their children at no extra charge, so consider what a gem the experience of side-by-side learning with your young one might be like!
Meanwhile, our Continuing Class students will increase their reading proficiency and lean into the study of Torah chanting, uniting word and melody as developed in a range of Jewish traditions around the world.
Midweek Hebrew is taught by Rabbi Irwin Keller.

Location
Nitzanim @ Congregation Ner Shalom
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.
