Whether you are planning to read Torah at a child or grandchild’s bar/bat mitzvah, want to become a Torah reader in your community or are simply curious about cantillation, this course will introduce you to:
- Basic concepts behind chanting Torah
- How the system of cantillation functions
- And guidance for learning a Torah reading
Students should know the Hebrew alphabet and be able to read some Hebrew, but fluency is not required.
