What Makes This Class Unique?

Alongside traditional Hebrew learning, we’ll explore the lively evolution of modern Hebrew through a gender-expansive lens. This includes how Hebrew is being reimagined and reclaimed by non-binary, trans, and feminist speakers—opening up space for everyone in the language.
