Shalom friends,
Good News!!!
On this issue we will learn about fruitfulness.
While the last issue of the Classical Hebrew Newsletter dealt with barrenness, this issue deals with childbearing. Barrenness is a condition that paradoxically occurred to all the four mothers of the Jewish nation (Sarah, Rivka, Rachel, and Leah) at a certain point of their lives. They all eventually enjoyed fruitfulness and created the origins of our nation. This issue is devoted to childbearing including words, phrases, and idiom related to this wonderful event of creation.
Good luck (literally means "in good hour/time") - blessings for a new beginning!
BeSha'a Tova!
The Hebrew Online Team.

Some words about our last newsletter...
|
|
"
Thank you for this newsletter. As I read about the Shabbat preparations, I am reminded of 2 of my favorite books by Amos Oz : Fima and A Tale of Love and Darkness.
The story of Fima takes place in Jerusalem, and Oz describes a Friday afternoon as Fima strolls through the city, what he sees, smells, and hears as the neighbors make preparations for Shabbat.
In his book A Tale of Love and Darkness, Amos Oz describes the markets, with their fruits, and cheeses, and oils, and spices, and olives, where he went with his mother many times.
If I could do one thing, I would love to meet Mr. Oz, and thank him for the beautiful stories he has given me.

Since I joined the class with my teacher Nechama Hashiloni I find that I have learned so much in a short time. I always listen to Hebrew music but now I can almost understand everything they are saying and that is so exciting. I think she is an most excellent teacher and she is very gifted to handle the students and make sure each one gets attention. She also is quick to call for technical support if needed and they also do a great job. Thank you to all the staff from Hebrw on Line. You deserve a big thank you for the swiftness to help students with whatever their needs are. Shalom ve toda raba.

Shalom,
Having followed the last degree of your courses in Hebrew, I must say I really enjoyed the lively discussions of many subjects and the competence of the teachers. I'm on my way to settle in Israel soon.
Thanks for the great moments to Hebrewonline.
