Aleph to Tav: Exploring the Hebrew Alphabet
Grade Level: 8–12 | Length: 8 weeks | Credit: .25 | Self-Paced
Textbook: My Book of Hebrew Letters by Biblical Excavations (Provided – no purchase necessary)
Unlock the beauty and depth of the Hebrew language in this engaging 8-week self-paced course designed for middle and high school students by Biblical Excavations. Aleph to Tav introduces students to the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet through a blend of writing, pronunciation, and spiritual exploration.
Each week, students will:
- Learn to write and pronounce Hebrew letters with accuracy and confidence
- Discover the numerical value (gematria) and symbolic meaning of each letter
- Explore key Hebrew words, focus scriptures, and hidden “codes” tied to each character
- Engage in simple creative exercises that reinforce both language and biblical insight
This course goes beyond memorization into a journey through the language of the Old Testament, revealing layers of meaning that bring the Bible to life in new ways. Whether your student is brand new to Hebrew or eager to explore its spiritual depth, Aleph to Tav offers a rich, accessible introduction that inspires wonder and deepens understanding.
No prior Hebrew knowledge is required. All materials are provided.
Resources Needed:
- Access to online teaching resources within the True North LMS
- Bible (any translation, e.g., NIV, ESV).
- Journal for reflections and exercises.
- Ability to print (if you want to use some of the resources as printed)
Family Integration Bonus:
To encourage whole-family learning, the course materials were built with younger children in mind. While the older student is diving into the deeper meanings of letters and their associations with scripture, younger family members may enjoy the coloring book and video playlist course components.
Full-Year Completion Policy
Self-paced courses are full-year courses. Every student has one full academic year from the date of enrollment to finish, no matter when during the year they start. A student who enrolls in March has the same full year as one who enrolls in August, and there is no fee to extend within that year. Courses are built as roughly fifteen weeks of coursework, and each class has a pacing guide on its Bulletin Board. The pacing guide is a guide, not a deadline. We encourage families to plan ahead and schedule consistent time each week for successful completion.
