Pastoral Care @ ARK Centre
Pastoral Care is a hallmark of any communal organisation. And for a very good reason: at the centre of all we are, all we do, the reason we exist is for the people who comprise our community. This year, Pastoral…
Members of our community were telling us for some time that they wanted access to more Hebrew courses via ARK Centre. We have been pleased to deliver some great selections to those seeking to broaden their skills in this area.
LEARN TO READ HEBREW
For many of us, the need to read Hebrew doesn’t crop up every day. There are certain times, however, when we feel it would be really useful. Following along in the Haggadah over Pesach, following the Machzor over Rosh Hashanah, following the Siddur during a loved one’s Bar Mitzvah or Call Up.
Over the last year Rabbi Gabi has developed and honed an approach to help you learn to read Hebrew in a matter of weeks. The course is designed for people who have little or no Hebrew reading ability and takes participants through the key components of identifying letters, the different vowels and sounds and so on.
With thanks to NJOP (National Jewish Outreach Program) for the provision of work books to facilitate this course.
Learn to Read Hebrew is a 10 week course and some choose to continue on after that.
Numbers are capped to ensure that the group is cohesive and can learn at a similar pace.
INTRODUCTION TO CONVERSATIONAL HEBREW
In February 2020 we commenced our first Introduction to Conversational Hebrew course on Tuesday evenings.
Under the guidance of truly wonderful teacher, Natalie Mittelman, participants were starting to learn the fundamentals and were making great progress.
The students welcomed Nat’s approach to teaching and enjoyed coming into ARK Centre each week to for their classes. The crew made great progress even when they needed to finish off the term via Zoom instead of in person.
We look forward to resuming the course for a new crop of beginners and for those who wish, to continue learning and honing their conversational skills
If you would like to know more about these or any of our upcoming courses, please contact the office via office@arkcentre.com.au
