__**TBO INTRODUCTION TO HEBREW CLASS**__

UPDATE DECEMBER 31st:

Hi all, this will be the final update on this wiki page for the Intro to Hebrew Class! I am posting our last assignments here, but do not fret -- I'm starting a NEW wiki page for our NEW class. You can find it at: http://tbors.wikispaces.com/Adult+Hebrew+Class.

May you each have a happy and healthy 2011!

Meanwhile, here are our Homework files:

//Ya'aleh V'yavo//: This is a special prayer said on certain holidays. This explains the weird lay-out, because for different holidays, you include a different next-to-last line. So the first insert is for Rosh Hashanah. See if you can figure out the second two inserts, and what the holiday is being called in the prayer (hint, the middle one is being called the "chag" (holiday) of the food that we eat at that holiday). media type="file" key="104 - 5 yaaleh vyavo.m4a" width="300" height="50"

FROM December 8th:

It was a pleasure to celebrate the end of Chanukah with you! Hope you've been practicing, as we continue to get geared-up for the next part of our sequence. Zemer Lexie will join you on Wednesday to go over some roots that we had more-or-less skipped over in the course of our intro class so we can start looking at some of the words we're going to see again and again in the prayers we're learning.

__Mazal Tov on getting through our Intro to Hebrew class!!! You should each be proud of how far you've come. We hope you keep practicing and that you will join us for the continuation of our course - it will be a lot of fun, a lot of learning, and a great opportunity to form a real community within our community. And when all is said and done, each of you will feel more at home and more connected whenever you join us (or any other Jewish community, for that matter) for a prayer service. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me! And if you have not already done so, please just confirm that you want to join us - rabbimargolis@tboraleigh.org. This will ensure that our books get here. And those of you without books, I received confirmation that they will be shipping out of Atlanta tomorrow!__

__In the meantime, you are all welcome to join us December 8th, 15th, and 22nd for our bridge between the intro and the next level (with no additional fees, since we do not have additional books, and we don't need to pay for any substitute instructors).__

__l: From the //Kaddish://__ media type="file" key="l - exercise 7 page 96-97.m4a" width="300" height="50" __Bonus info: What you've read for this prayer is actually NOT Hebrew! It is Aramaic, another ancient Semitic language that is closely related to Hebrew, but was more widely used. In fact, many Jewish communities spoke in Aramaic so that they would not use the holy language of Hebrew for every day discussions, reserving its use for prayer, alone. This is one of the reasons that much of the Talmud is written in Aramaic! If you want to know what the Talmud is. . . shoot me an email! (rabbimargolis@tboraleigh.org)__
