About ten years ago, Ohr Kodesh members asked me to teach this class. I said we need a commitment by ten people. We have consistently welcomed more than ten people to each class. By studying the grammar and syntax of the narrative portions in the Torah, we gain greater facility in reading the text of the Torah in its Hebrew original. We also explore how Biblical words are used in contemporary Hebrew. Texts are distributed electronically. Our new material will surprise veteran students.

We will be focusing on the Book of Jonah, traditionally read at mincha (the afternoon service) of Yom Kippur. Whether you are a continuing member of the group, or joining for this session, this is an opportunity to explore a fascinating text with an amazing teacher in preparation for Yom Kippur.
