Rabbi Stuart Federow, Rabbi Emeritus of Congregation Shaar Hashalom in Clear Lake, has developed a quick “jump start” to learning how to read Hebrew. For many years, he taught his method at Yom Limmud, the Houston community day of learning, and also at local synagogues. He even came to Temple Beth Torah several years ago. Now, his method is available to anyone on a YouTube video, by googling Rabbi Federow Hebrew Head Start. On this video, you will watch Rabbi Federow actively teach the Hebrew letters and vowel sounds. To help the process, he has also developed a workbook and flash cards on a website.
The flash cards are also free to download, and the optional workbook is $10. Rabbi Gordon has observed this lesson, and endorses Rabbi Federow as an enthusiastic teacher. It is a course for reading the
sounds, but not vocabulary. For those who want to follow along with services in the prayer book, this program can provide a great enhancement.
