What is the best way to learn Biblical Hebrew online with a real teacher?

I was born and raised in Jerusalem, and the Biblical texts were my schooling from childhood, in the original. I teach one-to-one, online by video, in English or French, and the practice between lessons follows what we read together.

Common challenges learning Biblical Hebrew

•

You've memorized paradigm charts but can't identify a verb form in an actual verse

•

Your textbook teaches grammar in isolation — disconnected from real Scripture reading

•

You can't tell the difference between Qal, Pi'el, and Hif'il in context — the verb patterns blur together

•

You studied vocabulary lists but don't understand how roots generate entire word families

I teach every lesson myself, from the text you want to read.

Who this is for

🕍

Synagogue & prayer connections

You follow along in the Siddur, you hear the Torah reading, but the meaning floats just out of reach. You want to understand what you're saying when you pray — not just pronounce it.

🎓

Seminary & Bible school students

You're in a program that requires Biblical Hebrew. Or you took two semesters and can barely parse a verse. The grammar tables aren't sticking. You need a different approach.

📖

Torah scholars & serious learners

You study Torah weekly — Daf Yomi, parsha, midrash. You rely on translations but you know something gets lost. You want to see what Rashi saw, not what the English says Rashi saw.

🌍

Christians reading the Old Testament

You love the Hebrew Bible. You've heard that translations miss nuances — and you want to experience the original text. The poetry of the Psalms, the narratives of Genesis, in the actual Hebrew.

Your learning path

A structured curriculum — not just a pile of flashcards. Each stage builds on the last.

Stage 1Weeks 1-3

Aleph-Bet & Vowel System

Master the alphabet with full nikud, cantillation marks basics, and pronunciation of Biblical Hebrew (Ashkenazi or Sephardic track).

Stage 2Weeks 4-8

Core Vocabulary & Qal Binyan

The 300 most frequent Biblical Hebrew words cover 80% of the Torah. Master them alongside Qal perfect and imperfect conjugations.

Stage 3Weeks 9-16

Derived Binyanim & Syntax

Niphal, Pi'el, Hif'il, Hitpa'el, Pu'al, Hof'al. Biblical Hebrew syntax: waw-consecutive, construct chains, relative clauses.

Stage 4Weeks 17-30

Reading Full Passages

Parse and read complete sections: Genesis narratives, Psalms, Prophetic literature. Graded by vocabulary difficulty.

Stage 5Weeks 30+

Independent Reading & Commentary

Read any Biblical text independently. Begin engaging with Rashi, Ibn Ezra, and classical commentators in the original.

Tools built for Biblical Hebrew

Root Explorer

Enter any root and see every form in the Torah — nouns, verbs, adjectives. One root like כ-ת-ב unlocks כָּתַב, מִכְתָּב, כְּתוּבִים, and more. See the family tree.

All 7 Binyanim — Biblical Forms

Biblical Hebrew's verb system IS the language. The drills take every binyan through actual Torah examples, not made-up sentences. Each pattern changes meaning systematically.

Nikud Toggle

Start with full vowels. Gradually remove them as you gain confidence. Biblical texts always had vowels — but eventually you want to read without training wheels.

Graded Scripture Reading

Every chapter of the Hebrew Bible is graded by how much vocabulary you already know. Start with the easiest passages, unlock harder ones as you grow.

Bridge to Modern Hebrew

Same roots, evolved meanings. Your Biblical Hebrew isn't a dead language — it lives in every Israeli conversation. I show you the connections.

Gateway to Aramaic

The Talmud is 50% Aramaic, 50% Hebrew. Your Biblical Hebrew is the foundation for Aramaic study. I take you there when you're ready.

Biblical Hebrew lessons with a native Jerusalemite, and between lessons the root explorer, the vowel toggle and all seven binyanim to practise with. I teach Modern Hebrew, Yiddish and Aramaic too.

"Seminary student here. I'd done two semesters of Biblical Hebrew in a classroom and could barely parse a verse. The Root Explorer changed everything — once I saw how one root generates 15 different words, the whole language clicked."
