The content was broken down in “bite-sized” segments and easily digestible! I started with virtually no Hebrew vocabulary but after this book, not only do I know the Alef-Bet, I can read virtually anything written in Hebrew! Thank You!” M.H. "I absolutely loved the format of the lessons. The content was broken down in "bite-sized" segments and easily digestible!

"I believe this is the best teaching I have ever experienced for beginners!" R.B. "Hebrew With Joy" is far more than just a textbook. Written from the heart of a woman who has roots in both Israel and America, Joy Carroll offers considerably more to her students than just "instructions" on how to read, write and speak beginning Hebrew. Having spent much time throughout the years living in Israel, she has a rich and deep understanding of the Hebrew culture. Joy purposefully teaches each letter of the Aleph Bet in such a way that within the very first lesson, a word...not just a group of letters...springs off the page and into the delighted minds of her students. When they realize they can read, write AND correctly pronounce this word, their attention is immediately caught and the zeal to learn is quite contagious! J.K. "By far the best language instructor and resource I have been blessed to engage with. Hebrew With Joy focuses on biblical Hebrew using words most often used in the bible. Joy's approach to teaching Hebrew begins by introducing the student to the Aleph Bet, the letters' sound and a visual association that helps you know the letters on sight and by sound. Key Words and their meaning are accompanied by the Root of each Key Word and the Root meaning, thus enabling the student to gain increased understanding of various words with the same Root. Masterfully organized, Hebrew with Joy will have you recognizing vowels, their sound and the nuances required to use the vowels with word pictures. Hebrew With Joy is a the ideal Biblical Hebrew course for beginners!" B. D. "After using this book, I was able to read and translate a sentence, read the Names of God, learn about the Jewish culture and understand and build on the Hebrew roots. Excellent! " D.L. "I loved learning the rich spiritual aspects of the Hebrew language. It opened my eyes to the vastness of God and how serious each word is. This class will change your life!" J.R. Shalom! What a privilege to share my new book with you! I first learned Hebrew at Temple Beth Shalom in Orange, California. I rediscovered my Jewish roots 50 years later and fell in love with Israel, the Land, her people, and Hebrew, God's Holy language. I have been married to my best friend and biggest encourager, Russ, for 33 years. We have a wonderful daughter Becca and son-in-law Adam. We currently live in Colorado Springs, CO. Russ and I have spent a great amount of time living in Israel and visiting my sister Pam and her family, who live near Jerusalem. I love to read, and I LOVE playing Pickleball! I have been an educator for 35 years with a Bachelor's Degree and Teaching Credential in Education. I believe in making my classes and materials, simple, user-friendly AND FUN! Hebrew with Joy! has been a 6-year labor of love. I've had the privilege of testing the materials with hundreds of students, both in the classroom and online. My heart's desire is to provide this material so you'll be encouraged to learn Hebrew, whether you are a teacher or student.
