In 1995, David Bivin taught a 12-hour series of classes entitled “Aleph-Bet: A Beginner’s Introduction to Reading and Writing Hebrew.” The class was recorded and produced into a video series available on video cassette tapes (VCR). This incredible class brought the viewer into a basic understanding of how to read and write the language of Jesus’ day.
After securing the masters from the original publishers, Jerusalem Perspective is thrilled to make them available as an online course. David Bivin could not be more correct when he states in the first lesson, “NO study of ANY language pays off like learning Hebrew.” On the 20th anniversary of teaching this video series, we are proud to provide this outstanding course to our readers.
This Aleph-Bet course is fantastic! For years I’ve contemplated learning a bit about Hebrew and felt overwhelmed whenever I attempted to look around for a course to do. David Bivin teaches in a way that makes it feel like learning is an effortless process.

The course consists of 16 lessons. Most lessons consist of a video to watch, a lesson to read and then practice writing the letters and words learned in the session. A few of the lessons also have quiz questions that test your knowledge and progress, but you do not have to get the questions right to continue.
The course is free, but to participate you will still have to “purchase” access by clicking on the link below:
