course or who simply wish to
improve their Hebrew reading
skills. A familiarity with the Hebrew
alphabet is a prerequisite for the
intermediate course; the class is
designed to strengthen the partici-
pants' skills in reading the siddur
and enhance understanding of the
ideas and concepts behind the syn-
agogue service. •

diate course will meet Tuesday
evenings 7:30- 9 p.m., beginning
Jan. 10. Both classes will run for six
weeks.
