hebrewWant to learn Hebrew? You're in the right place!

The DCJCC offers six levels of conversational Hebrew, from learning the aleph bet to reading advanced literature. Our teachers Naomi and Lorit are native Hebrew speakers with many years of teaching experience. They regularly tweak their classes to fit the needs and interests of thier students.

Classes are offered Wednesday evenings in eight-week sessions. Each class is one hour. Levels 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 require the textbook Hebrew From Scratch (Part 1) and Level 6 requires Hebrew From Scratch (Part 2)- you can purchase a new copy of either textbook at the time of registration.

NEW FOR THIS SESSION: We've changed the structure of our levels a bit. This should only effect the name of your class, not the content. Former class names are in parentheses or call 202-777-3259 to ask Tami where you should be. Now all classes are Wednesday evenings.
