Something old, something new

Apparently I uploaded this video on November 1 but never announced it or added it to the playlist.




And moving on to a different topic:

Lost scroll found!

I hope that everyone had a 'fruitful' Sukkot.  Here is the last of the five scrolls.

The lost scroll

Not so much, but more like the lost notes about the scroll.  Concerning the Khamesh Megillot (the five scrolls) I managed to cover only four of them.  In the meantime, I have been traveling and moving and have set the notes about the last scroll and its corresponding book of Torah (Ecclesiastes and Deuteronomy) in one of many boxes full of all kinds of papers.

However, we don't read these until Sukkot, and I think I will be able to find everything and do the presentation before then.

In the meantime, verb study marches on.

we recommend

A friend discovered www.duolingo.com, a free language learning website.  The modern Hebrew course is well-done.  The lessons build on one another and are broken into short and grammatically relevant modules.
You will need to set up a Hebrew language keyboard.  If you don't know how to do that, ask Rabbi Google.   He knows everything.  I recommend the QWERTY keyboard as you will find most of the keys in the same phonetic places as the English alphabet.
I am doing the Russian course as well, and it is also well-laid out but it has a computer generated voice which is often difficult to understand.
There are about 30 languages available to English speakers.  There are ads but they are really minimal.  There is also a premium program which costs something, but I don't know what it provides.
Let me know how your progress is going!

Intermediate Hebrew - Psalm 99 Part 1

Ephraim repents in Hosea 14.  He has moved on to other things and so are we.

Hosea at the midpoint

This rounds up chapter 7 of Hosea.  Has Ephraim repented yet?  Will he ever?  Will we find out?
