Prayerbook Class Moves The Midrasha Center for Adult Learning has a change in sched- ule for its Beyond Beginner Prayerbook Hebrew Reading class, taught by Ronit Goutkovitch. The class will move to Monday nights starting Nov. 28. Each week's session meets from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Midrasha. New students are welcome to join the group at a prorated tu- ition plus book fee. A one-time complimentary audit is offered so that prospective new students can decide if the class is right for them. Ms. Goutkovitch's course is de- signed for adults who can al- ready read but wish to understand the meaning of prayers in the Shabbat liturgy. Knowledge of the alef-bet and some phonetic Hebrew reading ability are prerequisites for en- rollment. Midrasha also offers a Total Beginner Hebrew Reading class for those who have not yet mastered the alef-bet. The class meets on Thursday nights from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. and is taught by Susie Cook. New students are welcome to join that class as well.
