[NFBJ] Learning Hebrew

[Eric Harvey]

Hello all, 

If anyone is looking for formal classes in Hebrew, you might try contacting Sarah Blake LaRose. She is a blind professor of Hebrew and Greek at a Christian seminary in Indiana, I think, and she often teaches open courses to students of all backgrounds. Her website is www.night-light.org, and I believe it has her contact information. 

Best,
Eric

I am toying with the idea of doing a biweekly learning session with anyone who might be interested. Perhaps I would do it one evening or Wednesday morning. I will help you get the training material anyone who is interested can email me off-line at rybodek at gmail.com
