Why study Modern Hebrew?

For over 2500 years since the biblical period, the Hebrew language has been in continuous use. Revived in the crucible of nineteenth century Zionism and the emergence of the modern state of Israel, contemporary Hebrew represents the intersection of antiquity and modernity, tradition and innovation, and Israel and its surrounding cultures.

The certificate program in modern Hebrew is awarded to students who have attained advanced competency in the Hebrew language by successfully completing the Hebrew language program offered by the department of Judaic Studies at the University of Cincinnati. The certificate recognizes the attainment of a significant academic competency: the ability to read, speak, write and understand the Hebrew language. Furthermore, by studying Hebrew, students open their minds to different forms of thinking and expression, the priceless result of engagement with a foreign culture.

Career Possibilities

A certificate in modern Hebrew enables students to demonstrate linguistic competency to future employers and graduate schools that require either proficiency in a foreign language in general, or specifically in Hebrew. In addition to positions in Hebrew education, students seeking careers in Jewish institutions will be particularly attractive. The certificate will also facilitate travel and study abroad.
