With its blend of ancient heritage and modern vibrancy, Hebrew is a fascinating language for exploring Jewish culture and religious tests, and is vital for Middle Eastern studies, travel, or work in Israel. As a language, Hebrew has a rich history and offers unique insights into modern language revival. Learning Hebrew boosts cognitive skills and provides a foundation for other Semitic languages, enriching personal and academic experiences.
At Carleton we offer:
- A language sequence in Modern Hebrew spanning from elementary to advanced knowledge that continually integrates listening, speaking, reading, and writing in Hebrew
- A dynamic and supportive classroom community with events like “Karaoke in Hebrew” and building-wide poster sessions
- Exciting out of class opportunities including Hebrew Lunch Table and regular showings of influential Israeli films
- A related minor in Middle Eastern Studies
Please note that the next Hebrew sequence (starting with Hebrew 101) will begin in Winter 2025. If you have questions about taking Hebrew courses while at Carleton, please contact Prof. Stacy Beckwith
