Hi! Im assuming y’all are like me and have been prompted to study/learn Hebrew. There are so many apps and resources out there that sometimes it’s a little overwhelming to do it yourself. So let’s study together!
My name is Cameron Briggs and I look forward to getting to know you! I served my mission in México, so I do have experience learning a language and know how challenging it can be.
This is a very elementary introduction to the Hebrew alphabet and basic reading skills (i.e. right to left). 10+ weeks starting Jun 25th 2023. Two time slots available: Sundays 8-9pm MDT or Mondays 1-2pm MDT. If you’re one of those types who think they can’t learn or memorize a darn thing, this is the best way to get introduced to Hebrew! It will require about 1-2hrs per week of homework reading and practice. This group will be using the Biblical (Masoretic) text and the Sephardic pronunciation. Such as:
Guest Speakers – We will have guest speakers come in occasionally to help us learn.
Both groups will be the same. Attend whichever works best for your schedule. You’re more than welcome to attend both for extra practice. Keep in mind that all sessions will be recorded for later viewing in case you miss a week or want to rewatch 🙂
All worksheets and slides will be provided and free to print out yourself.
Optional Books I Recommend
I pull a lot of stuff from both of these books; the yellow one especially. The blue book is very kindergarten style which is great if the letters are hard for you to memorize the new shapes. The yellow book will have extra exercises that would be helpful for extra practice. I have some sample pages of both of these if you’d like to see them before purchasing.

So what is this website?
I’ve been hosting book clubs for the past couple of years and we wanted a way to communicate and gather off of social media. This is a place where we can access all the recordings of our book club sessions in case we missed a week or want to go back and rewatch. We’re a pretty tight knit LDS study group that just love learning about Zion together and all that that entails.
If you’d like more information about joining our other groups please email me at [email protected]. If you register on the site and I do not know your name it will most likely be flagged as spam. (We get tons of spam registrations each day!) We welcome all 🙂
