What satisfied students say about me:

Michal is an outstanding instructor. I have learned so much working with her. I look forward to our meetings every week. (Phil D., New Zealand)

I am challenged by your lessons and feel as though I am taking a course with real value – not unlike a university course. I have appreciated studying with you because you have always done a lot of preparation for our lessons. (Judith B., Canada)

Thank you for both your fun and patience and all the extra material you give us to enhance our learning experience. We end up learning more than Biblical Hebrew! You have made what once looked impossible to me – possible! (Kendra H., USA)

The best thing about my Biblical Hebrew classes is that my teacher is very knowledgeable, kind and patient, and takes her teaching job very seriously.  However, outside of the teacher-student relationship, we have also become friends, and sometimes have some good chats after class!  I have had teachers who were very demanding, and not so patient. (not just Hebrew, but in quite a few other classes that I have participated in)..  Today I am thankful for my excellent Biblical Hebrew teacher and feeling very blessed to call her ‘friend’ as well. I am in the USA, she is in Israel, we can communicate in both English and German! Thank you, technology, and Zoom for making this possible. (Brigitte P., USA)

For more and more people the translation of the bible is no longer enough. Like you, they want to connect to the deeper roots of the text and understand the true meaning behind every word of the most important book on the planet.

What Lucille S. from Canada said about her course experience:

“I really enjoy having an Israeli teacher. The course material is excellent, and I have learned so much that I could never have learned elsewhere. The teacher is very well informed and pushes us to achieve a higher level of competency. She encourages us to translate the Hebrew ourselves and encourages independent thought. I love finding out about the development of Biblical Hebrew-it’s fascinating!”
