Hebrew Language Study

img

The student who has more than a casual interest in Judaic Studies or who would like to minor or major in it is strongly encouraged to study Hebrew. This language is essential for a full appreciation of the religion, culture and civilization of the Jews. Hebrew is a biblical language which has been used throughout the long history of the Jews as a people. Today, Hebrew is a living language spoken in Israel, America, and wherever Jews live, study and work. Whether you are interested in reading Hebrew Scripture in the original, visiting and/or studying in Israel, living on a kibbutz or planning a career in Middle Eastern Affairs, the place to begin Hebrew language study is at UConn.
