Course Info
Similar to its companion course, Our Hebrew Fathers I: Abraham and Isaac, this course will enable you to better understand the stories of Isaac and Jacob by focusing on how they are told in the original Hebrew text of Torah. As you begin to understand the original Hebrew text, you’ll be amazed at how God continued to fulfill the promises He made to Abraham in the lives of his son and grandson, Isaac and Jacob.
No prior knowledge of Hebrew is necessary to enjoy this course which focuses on the stories themselves. Dive in and develop a fresh perspective while re-reading these familiar stories in English alongside the original Hebrew text. Make an investment in your life that you will never regret.

Posted 2 months agoI had lots of technical problems as I went through this course. As far as the content is concerned, it started very slowly with Rabbi Singer (he was having technical problems as well!), but it improved as it went on. Really enjoyed analysing the Hebrew. -
