A Hebrew online course offers an opportunity for anyone who desires to learn about this ancient and beautiful language. This opportunity extends to gentiles as well as Jews.

Israel is the land of the Bible, both Old and New Testament. It has revered connections to Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Thousands of years ago, as it is today Aramaic (especially in northern Israel) and Hebrew were the primary languages spoken in Israel. As far as Christians are concerned, it would do well to remember that Christ himself was a Jew – and spoke Aramaic (Galilee is in northern Israel) and probably Greek, as well as Hebrew.

The point is that Hebrew is as relevant a language for Christians as it is for Jews.

There are other beautiful languages on the planet (the romance languages of French, Italian, and Spanish, and others come to mind), but none have the degree of ancient historical impact that Hebrew has. And Israel is in a region that is rich in ancient history in ways that no other location on Earth can match. It is a sacred land that has been in continuous conflict for thousands of years.

Having said all that, ...
... there’s no such thing as “Christian Hebrew”. Hebrew is Hebrew – although there is both ancient Biblical Hebrew and Modern Hebrew. The draw for Christians, if there is one is one of Biblical and historical context.

Christians can study any Hebrew online course the same way as any other person from any other religion can. The only consideration is learning Hebrew is how it is learned.

There are many online courses that teach in conjunction with various university degrees. These courses will tend to have a rigid schedule as far as course work is concerned. Whether Biblical or Modern Hebrew is chosen, this option is chosen usually for academic reasons.

There are also many “for-profit” companies that offer both Biblical and Modern Hebrew courses – some of which can be used for accreditation purposes if desired. These courses tend to allow students more flexibility as regards to scheduling and allow them to learn at their own pace.

Lastly, there are Jewish and/or Israeli organizations on the web that offer the same types of courses – and often for free.

Many of these courses include live interactive instructors – some even direct from Israel. There may also be a wealth of downloadable materials including exercises as part of the package.

A little bit of research on the part of the prospective student will most likely yield the best Hebrew online course that will suit the goals and needs of that student.
