I absolutely loved this class! I learned so much about translating the Ancient Hebrew and was even able to discover new ways to interpret some of the pictographs. Highly recommended!
Jeff has a grand gift as a teacher in preparation and his sincere interaction with each student during the ZOOM. Patient and kind in his perseverance for each one to get it right. His jolly disposition added to a relaxed learning experience.
Jeff has done brilliant work in bringing this ancient language to life. His zoom classes make the discovery of the ancient Hebrew language a treasure worth excavating!
Because of the neutral position Jeff takes on different religious backgrounds, I was able to maintain my individuality and quest for the many tough topics.
