Hebrew Roots, Jewish Routes

"...revels in Hebrew's genius and beauty as the vehicle of a majestic history..."
John McWhorter, Professor of Linguistics, Columbia University, author of Words on the Move and Power of Babel

"...a tour de force...witty and readable yet profound and unforgettable."
Gil Troy, Professor of History at McGill University, author, The Zionist Ideas

Whatever you've heard of Hebrew knowledge, linguist and cultural anthropologist Jeremy Benstein will take you on a journey into the deep significance of Hebrew in the life of Jews and Judaism.

With fluency a distant goal for so many, Benstein provides another approach: engaging with Hebrew by focusing on the three-letter Hebrew roots that are the building blocks of the language.
