There is the standard way to learn Hebrew, and there is the simplified way.
The simplified way is the method I have developed over the years, and the result is messages like this one, which I receive daily.
Thank you, Pam, for sharing just how much my programs have helped you learn and love Hebrew. 💙

"#DavidHirshberg never had a brother. His three sons do, and #Hirshberg says all three are among each other’s best friends. For his latest #novel, “#CrossingtheBronx” (Fig Tree #Books), Hirshberg went in the opposite direction: two brothers find themselves on opposing sides of a fight over the construction of the #CrossBronxExpressway.
“Crossing the Bronx” is Hirshberg’s third novel and the final #book in his Mid-Century #Trilogy, following “#MyMother’sSon” (2018) and “#JacobosRainbow” (2021).
The novel is set in 1952 and centers on Jay deVenezia, a 23-year-old, six-foot-five-inch #Italian #Jew from the #Bronx, and his older brother, Eric “Bud” deVenezia. Eric is muscular, intimidating and at ease among the neighborhood toughs who surround their father, Ike. Jay works at a record store and is drawn more to books, music and #Hebrew study."

This is what learning Hebrew actually looks like. 📖
A student sent me this page from her workbook and I can’t help smiling.
Row after row of letters, written and rewritten. Little notes squeezed into the margins. Some letters standing tall and confident, others still figuring out who they want to be. This page is not neat and that is exactly why I love it.
Nobody ever learned to read Hebrew from a perfect page. They learned from a page like this one. The messy one. The practice one. The proof.
Every person who reads Hebrew today has one of these somewhere in their past.
If you have been waiting for the right moment to start reading and writing Hebrew, let this be it. Grab Hebrew 1-2-3 and make your own beautiful mess. 💙

There is a word Israelis use for each other that also happens to be a cactus. 🌵
Prickly on the outside. Sweet on the inside. And yes, that is exactly what it means about the person.
But the story goes so much deeper than a clever nickname. This one word carries a fruit that crossed an ocean from Mexico, a national identity that peaked in 1948 and quietly transformed by the 1970s, an Arabic root meaning patience, and a Marvel superhero whose real name most people have never learned.
By the end you will understand something about Israeli identity that most people who use this word have no idea about.
It is live now. Come find out what it actually means to be a Sabra. 👇

"It may be the middle of summer on the #Gregorian #calendar right now, but on the #Jewish calendar, we are approaching the end of the year. The month of #Elul begins this year at sundown on August 13. Although Elul contains no major Jewish holidays, it is quite an important period of reflection and preparation for the #HighHolidays, which begin with #RoshHashanah on the first of the following #Hebrew month, #Tishrei.
According to Jewish tradition, our fates are written on Rosh Hashanah and sealed for the upcoming year on #YomKippur. Because of that, Elul becomes an opportunity to strengthen our connection with #Hashem, or G-d; ask for forgiveness; repent; and return to Him. This process, known as #teshuvah, invites us to reflect on both our personal behavior and religious practice.
However, asking Hashem for forgiveness is not enough when we have wronged another person."

We found a new park near our home and walked into this. 🌿
Spanish moss hanging down like curtains. Old oaks leaning over the path. An overgrown brick wall that has clearly stopped arguing with the vines. And a trail that just disappears into the green
I stood there a while. Because this is exactly what learning Hebrew feels like. It does not announce itself or demand anything from you. It simply opens, quietly, and invites you a little deeper. One word, then another, then a whole world you did not know was waiting behind the trees.
Nature in Hebrew is ‘te-va, טבע
Some things are not meant to be conquered. They are meant to be wandered into.
Where is the most enchanting spot near you? 💙

Going to Israel? Do not get on that plane without these. ✈️🇮🇱
Yes, you can get by with English in Israel. But there is a moment that changes everything, when you say a few words in Hebrew and watch the person in front of you light up. Suddenly you are not a tourist being served. You are a guest being welcomed.
It is live right now, and it is yours. The exact phrases to make that happen. Not textbook translations. The real ones Israelis actually use, chosen to keep you clear and confident whether you are asking for directions, ordering, shopping, or finding your way to the Kotel.
And here is my favorite part: I picked phrases that skip gender forms entirely, so you never have to stop and wonder which version to use. Just say it and be understood.
Go read it, save it, and take it with you. 👇

What is it actually like to vote in an Israeli election? 🗳️🇮🇱
Not the headlines. Not the analysis. The real thing. The paper slips, the blue envelope, the little booth, the walk to the polling station in your neighborhood. It works nothing like it does in America, and most people outside Israel have never seen it.
I am taking you inside the whole experience from a voter’s point of view, with the Hebrew you would actually hear and use along the way.
Democracy in Hebrew, from the inside out.

My friend Sergio DeSoto made this for me and I have not stopped smiling. Inbal the Explorer, backpack on, Hebrew 1 in hand, ready to head off into the wild in search of adventure.
He captured something true. That is exactly what learning Hebrew feels like. You set off down a path you have never walked, you do not know what is around the bend, and you carry one good guide with you. Every new word is a discovery. Every sentence is another mile down the trail.
Thank you, Sergio. This made my whole week. Go follow him on Substack, https://substack.com/@mrdesoto and follow me there as well https://substack.com/@hebrewbyinbal
And if you have been thinking about starting your own Hebrew adventure, consider this your sign. Grab your backpack. Let’s go. 💙

What if everything you were told about learning Hebrew was backwards?
For generations, the rule has been the same. Memorize the alphabet, drill the vowels, practice your handwriting, and then, far down the road, you might be ready to say your first sentence out loud.
No wonder so many people quit. They spent months staring at letters and never once got to do the thing they came for. To speak.
Here is what I know after years of teaching. Speaking can start on day one. My students hold real conversations in Hebrew long before they can write a word of it, because I teach the sounds first, through a system built for the way English speakers think.
Letters have their place, and I teach them. But they were never the gate you unlock before you are allowed to speak.
If you have been waiting for permission to start, here it is.

You meet a version of yourself that only exists in this language. The you that reads the prayer in its first voice. The you that jokes with an Israeli cab driver. The you that finally understands what your grandmother meant. That person was always in there, waiting for the words to arrive.
That is what I get to witness with my students. Not just new vocabulary. A whole new self, stepping into the light.
Come find yours. 💙
