When you read "The Lord is my shepherd" in English, you're missing the poetic Hebrew David actually wrote. When Genesis says "In the beginning," the Hebrew reveals layers of meaning no translation can capture. The Bible was written in Hebrew—and learning Hebrew opens Scripture in ways English simply cannot.
I was born and raised in Jerusalem, the city at the heart of the Bible. Growing up as a native Hebrew speaker with intensive training in Hebrew text study, I developed a deep love for the language and its connection to Scripture.
Now I help Christians access the beauty and depth of Biblical Hebrew—combining authentic native expertise with genuine respect for your faith journey. My approach balances scholarly rigor with devotional heart, helping you not just learn Hebrew, but encounter Scripture in a transformative way.
"I focus on linguistic and cultural education that deepens your understanding of Scripture while fully respecting your Christian beliefs."
