Professor Weinberg is joining the College of Charleston faculty in August after an impressive career
teaching immersive Hebrew language courses in Israel, at Tel Aviv University, the Hebrew University, and many other ulpan programs. In addition to her traditional daytime classes, Professor Weinberg’s once-a-week evening ulpan classes on Mondays this fall will aim at the same result: teach students how to speak and read Hebrew. It will expect students of all ages to be serious about the enterprise – to do the assigned work on a regular basis, and to come to class each Monday prepared to participate. The ulpan classes will be conducted largely in Hebrew, but no previous background of Hebrew is required to enroll. This immersive course is a first for the Jewish Studies Program, after many years of teaching Reading Hebrew to the community.
