Hebrew at 4:30 p.m.; Trope Trainer at 5:30 p.m. Newcomers Welcome

 Adding to the education program at our shul, Rabbi Gadi has announced the restart of his Hebrew class, and the continuation of Trope Trainer, both to begin on Thursday, Jan. 25. Because the exercise class also meets on Thursday, the two education classes will be held at the parsonage.

The Hebrew class and the Trope Trainer curriculum are related in that both prepare participants to read the Hebrew characters, from the Siddur and also from the Torah for those interested in that more advanced learning. As Hebrew readers know, the difficulty in reading from the Torah is that the text contains no vowels and no punctuation. Various symbols indicate directions to readers. Learning the symbols and their meanings is challenging and also satisfying, enhancing one’s understanding and connection to the ancient script.

To join our shul’s community of Hebrew readers and Torah chanters, email the shul at ctigreenport@gmail.com with a message for Rabbi Gadi.
