Alef vs Hebrew №1

Alef teaches you to read Hebrew — whether that's for a bar or bat mitzvah, to follow along in synagogue, or simply because you want to read the language. It takes you from your very first letter all the way to real Torah passages and prayers. HOW YOU LEARN • Guided Primer — a structured, ~20-minute onboarding that teaches the writing system before jumping into practice • Spaced repetition flashcards — the proven method for long-term memory, tuned specifically for Hebrew letters, vowels, and vocabulary • Daily practice — a short, focused session each day builds real fluency over weeks, not months PRACTICE THROUGH PLAY • Syllable Drill — quick-fire letter and vowel combinations • Match Rush — a timed matching game for word recognition • Word Builder — assemble real Hebrew words from scrambled letters • Letter Quiz — test your recall, letter by letter READ THE REAL THING Once you've built a foundation, read actual Torah passages and prayers — the Shema, Friday night Kiddush, Psalms, and more — with word-by-word support. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Watch your level grow from Novice to Master as you unlock new letters, vowels, and vocabulary. Daily streaks and XP keep you motivated along the way.
