Aleph Isn't Tough : An Introduction to Hebrew for Adults : Book 1

This is the first step in a program of Hebrew learning for adults with no knowledge of the Hebrew alphabet.

The newest edition of this trusted resource is designed for English-speaking adults who primarily encounter the Hebrew language through Jewish religious life — the prayers and Torah readings in the synagogue, the blessings and rituals of Jewish home observances, and words or phrases arising out of a Jewish cultural context.

Effective and beginner-friendly, the book is easy to understand and effectively teaches the Hebrew Alef-Bet. Adult students who utilize this text will be able to participate more fully in the Hebrew-language aspects of contemporary Jewish life.

Join the thousands of adults who have learned Hebrew from the Hebrew for Adults series: Aleph Isn't Tough, Aleph Isn't Enough, Bet is for B'reishit, and Tav is for Torah.

Teacher's Guide available separately for classroom use (eBook only).
