First Steps for Learning Biblical Hebrew
- Reflect on your learning style: what has worked? what has frustrated you?
- Set reasonable goals – all you need to do is take the next step! Where are you now? What’s the next concrete step?
- Choose an instructor and a community of learners who will meet you where you are – no need to get overwhelmed or patronized!

hebrew and torah chanting courses
Classical Hebrew One is our most popular Hebrew language course! Lessons include the formation of nouns and adjectives, the present tense (aka participle) verb forms, basic prepositions and how vowels can be your best friend.
The second level course, Classical Hebrew 2, covers all the verb forms in the Qal (aka Paal) binyan, builds up vocabulary, and introduces text study techniques.
The third level course is “under construction!”
Learning to Leyn includes an 80+ pages handbook, along with two different trope tunes from which you can choose.
For more course details and seasonal coupons, see the Course Offerings page. To learn what “affordable” means, check out the FAQ!
live webinars
About every other month I run free and very low cost ($18) webinars on aspects of biblical and prayer book Hebrew. I also offer longer webinar series on biblical scholarship. To join the notification email list, please click here.
I send out emails only about once a month and I never share your information with anyone!

For the best high end experience, I have a few time slots each week for private tutoring. To make this experience most affordable, gather a group of 2-4 people to learn together. Weekly hour-long tutoring is custom designed to your level and learning style. For inquiries and scheduling, contact me.

Who am I?
My name is Tamar Kamionkowski. I am a biblical scholar, a teacher, a mother, a dog owner, a DIYer and a sci-fi geek.
My life-long passion has been to bridge the worlds of biblical scholarship and contemporary Jewish life. I have been training rabbinical students in classical Hebrew and Bible (aka Tanach) for over 25 years.
I developed these resources for one simple reason: adults who want to access the Hebrew Bible and prayer book in its original have few affordable, accessible and rigorous options that I would feel good about recommending. So I hope to fill this gap.
