A new, cutting-edge, Hebrew-reading crash course is taking the Jewish world by storm. The flashcard based language course developed by the Jewish Learning Institute, promises users that they can learn to read Hebrew in only four weeks if they follow the program.

Beginning Monday, July 30, at 8 p.m., Rabbi Yosef Zaklos director of Chabad of Downtown Boston, will conduct the four sessions of the new course, Read it in Hebrew at Chabad of Downtown Boston, 16 Piedmont St.

“With the High Holidays just around the corner, we find people sometimes feel lost at synagogue services held annually at the W Boston Hotel, because they don’t know how to read Hebrew,” Zaklos said. “We have found that learning how to read Hebrew strengthens one’s feeling of connection to Judaism in a powerful way. ‘Read it in Hebrew’ fills a tremendous need.”    Already a hit with communities around the world, “Read it in Hebrew” has been tried successfully in over 150 Chabad Houses, camps, and schools enabling over 1,000 students to read Hebrew.
