Minor in Hebrew

The Minor in Hebrew's goal is to train students in all four skills (listening comprehension, reading, writing, and speaking) of Modern Hebrew. Starting in the first level, the Program teaches the language not only through textbooks, but also through examples gathered from contemporary Israeli culture – music, newspapers, radio, internet, novels, poetry, academic texts, TV shows, films, and so forth.

Questions about the minor can be addressed to the following faculty members:

Hebrew Program Director, Alexandra Shraytekh
Hebrew Language Coordinator, Hedda Harari-Spencer
