Jerusalem of People and Places is intended for students at the beginning and intermediate levels of Hebrew study. The audio sequences contain 45 texts, 15 for each level - beginners, advanced beginners and intermediate. We chose texts with varied content: biographies, personal memories, historical events, phenomena related to people or nature, places and organizations. Though many of the texts may be related to Judaism and Israel, a considerable number deal with more general multicultural subjects. The word “Jerusalem” appears in each article, whether as the main subject or just as a passing reference, for the simple reason that we were born in Jerusalem, raised in Jerusalem, and love Jerusalem more than any other city in the world. The book Jerusalem of People and Places can be purchased here .

Hinneh – a new and revised 3-volume edition A Biblical Hebrew Textbook unlike Any Other Introduction Hinneh balances two major demands of an introductory language program: the presentation of the most frequently occurring lexical and grammatical examples, and the sequencing of the material in a way that allows for easier teaching and learning. · Enables a rigorous yet non-intimidating learning experience for students of different levels. · Provides the skills and tools necessary to allow students to independently access most biblical texts early on. · Gradually builds students’ knowledge through wide exposure to a large number of biblical verses, prose, and poetry, accompanied by translation exercises. · Offers many styles and different possible interpretations of various biblical texts so that students can independently and critically examine and evaluate biblical translations. · Employs learning methods informed by second language pedagogy and related fields (e.g. order of presentation determined by both frequency and “learnability,” “Color by root groups” to internalize the complex verb system, etc.). · A textbook and workbook for both the academic and non-academic classroom, as well as for the independent learner.

The book Rav Pe'alim focuses on the Modern Hebrew verb system and is intended for advanced level students of Hebrew as a second language (level Dalet according to the Division of Hebrew Language Instruction at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel). The book includes not only structured, gradual exercises of verb conjugations, but also includes verb exercises that aim to enrich the students' vocabulary and reinforce the mastery of the lexical meaning of the Hebrew roots (shorashim) and the semantic usage of the Hebrew stems (binyanim). In addition, the book provides the student with grammatical explanations and strategies to solve verb problems.

Most of the nineteen essays presented in this book deal with tongues and traditions of Maghreb Judaism. The communities of Morocco are a central topic in this collection as well as essays dealing with documents from the Ghardaïa community in south Algeria. This collection also offers extensively studied records of practices and actions of other communities in the area. Most of the chapters are based on manuscripts and records from the collection of Jewish North-African manuscripts at the Yale University library. The first two parts of the appendix are dedicated to four Masoretes. Bar-Asher based quite a few of his researches on their spoken and written Masoretic texts.

This a new edition includes answers to all the exercises. This book of exercises is designed for advanced students studying for their proficiency test in Hebrew according to the curriculum at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem. In section 1 you will find exercises that combine syntax and verb conjugations. The goal of these exercises is to combine all that was learned in previous levels, with the addition of new and different topics and vocabulary that is learned at the highest level. At this level of learning, the focus is integrating previously learned topics in the context of articles and texts (adapted from newspapers and journals), rather than on, reviewing previously learned topics in isolation, as is done in lower levels. In section 2, you will find exercises organized according to topic. In this section, we guide students in a systematic deeper concentration of the grammatical topics (complicated syntax and highly irregular verbs) that are most challenging for most students and require further practice. In section 3 we introduce "unseens", articles or texts with missing words for students to add; the primary objective of these exercises is to for students to hone their ability to understand the larger context of the text, rather than to focus on vocabulary or grammar per se. These exercises invite an integration of all that the student has previously learned, both actively and passively: everything from vocabulary to grammatical technicalities. All exercises in the book are adapted from newspaper articles and texts on a wide variety of diverse and current topics – from the arts to history and technology - carefully selected to engage the advanced learner and acclimate them to the Modern Hebrew writing style. The book includes answers to all the exercises (including suggested answers to the unseen passages), making it ideal for self-study as well as classroom use.
