FOLLOW ALONG WITH ME - No grammar, no phonetics, just words! Can you follow along in the prayerbook, but have no idea what you are saying? The goal of this meetup is to get you from “Yeah, I know that song,” to “Oh! That’s what we’re saying!” You don’t have to read Hebrew phonetically to join and we will transliterate, but this class is ideal as a next step to beginner adult Hebrew or the adult Bnai Mitzvah program. Using the most common words, and fun memory devices, we’ll get you to be able to decipher the prayers in just 3 weeks!

10:00AM - Great Courses
Platform: Zoom
The 7th lecture in Professor Hayes' exploration of the TaNaCh, "Israel in Egypt: Moses and the Beginning of Yahwism (Genesis 37-Exodus 4), explores the story of Joseph and the descent of the 12 tribes into Egypt, setting the stage for the Exodus in which God is seen as redeemer and liberator. Moses is the first in a line of apostolic (messenger) prophets and Yahwism is initiated. Mark Smith’s thesis describing the emergence of Israelite religion through a process of convergence and divergence is presented as an alternative to the evolutionary-revolutionary dichotomy presented in Lecture 2.
This lecture is approximately 45 minutes. There will be time for discussion following the presentation.
Questions about the lectures can be directed to Saul Rapkin.
