The Biblical Hebrew Reading Group provides an opportunity to read biblical texts under the guidance of great international scholars, junior Research Fellows and advanced postgraduate students. The reading group allows students, ranging from undergraduate to doctoral ones, to improve their fluency in Hebrew and connect the philological working of the biblical text with conceptual frameworks. This group also allows students to engage at all levels—those with more fluency read and translate, and those with less experience contribute to the conceptual work while practicing reading and grammar.
