Shalom and Sholem Aleichem! I’m a native Hebrew and Yiddish speaker from the Old Yishuv of Jerusalem. I know exactly how to bridge the gap between your native language and the logic of both Hebrew and the "Mama Loshen." Whether you want to master Tel Aviv street slang, prepare for Aliyah, read the Tanakh, or dive into 1,000 years of Ashkenazi history through Yiddish, I’ll get you there. Book a trial and let's get to work!Me as a Teacher
I am a native speaker of both Hebrew and Yiddish, born and raised in Jerusalem. Because I am fluent in English, French, German, Hebrew, and Yiddish, I know exactly how to bridge the gap between your native languages and the logic of Hebrew and Yiddish. I work with all backgrounds, from beginners learning their first words, to adults exploring Kabbalah, to those reconnecting with their Ashkenazi roots. My lessons & teaching style
My methodology is customized to your goals. I offer three distinct paths:
Modern Hebrew: Conversation, practical vocabulary, and Israeli slang.
Biblical Hebrew: Reading the Tanakh, understanding biblical roots, and connecting text to the land.
Yiddish Language & Culture: Conversational Yiddish, Hasidic tales, and classic literature.
(Note for French/German speakers: I can conduct the entire lesson in your language!)My teaching material
