He-Brew: Learn A New Language Over Beers

Written by Emma Needleman | Nov 13, 2019 7:08:07 PM

Learning a language is key to a deeper understanding of any culture. How would you like a key to your own heritage by learning Hebrew from Israelis — for free?

Now through the end of March, the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia is offering a fun weekly Hebrew language program for people in their 20s and 30s. Join your peers and meet other young professionals over drinks and snacks, while also getting an informal Hebrew lesson from the coolest Israelis we know: Bat El Trabelsi, our Jewish Federation shlicha (ambassador), and Shmulik Levi, shaliach for Camp Galil. In a new twist, this year’s program will also include the opportunity to pair up with Israelis who are learning English, for mutual conversational practice! Oh, and did we mention it’s free?!

He-Brew sessions are on Mondays, 6:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m., at the Jewish Communal Services Building, 2100 Arch Street, in Center City. This course is FREE but registration is required by clicking here. For more information contact shlicha@jewishphilly.org or 215.832.0847.
