Class of Hebrew

Though this isn't the place to give you my testimony about how I experienced the miracle of teshuvah (a changed life), you should perhaps know that I studied philosophy both in college and in graduate school (I taught logic during my graduate school program), and that I also attended Seminary, twice, actually! I have studied Koine Greek and Hebrew and lived Jewish culture for many years now, both formally and informally, and it's my hope to share some of my learning and experience with you here.



I am not some self-styled "expert" in Biblical Hebrew, however, and I do not have a PhD in Semitic languages or earn my income teaching Hebrew at a university. No, despite taking various classes in the subject (at Talmud Torah and other places), I have worked my way through the language over the years, attempting to live out its implications (that is critical), and trusting in the Lord to reveal to me the spiritual meaning of His word. After all, language (even divinely inspired language) is ultimately a means to something else, and it is that other thing that we must seek. τὸ γὰρ γράμμα ἀποκτέννει, τὸ δὲ πνεῦμα ζῳοποιεῖ: "for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life" (2 Cor 3:6). May you find that Eternal Life (חַיֵּי עוֹלָם) that is forever speaking the word of hope!
