Hebrew stands among the principal languages in the Semitic family, alongside Aramaic, Syriac, Ethiopic, Ugaritic, Edomitic, Arabic, and Phoenician. With roots tracing back to approximately 1200 BCE, it remains actively spoken in Israel today, making it one of the world's most ancient living languages. Its profound influence on Western civilization is most evident through the Hebrew Scriptures, also referred to as the Tanach or Old Testament. The field of Jewish Studies enables learners to examine the evolution of Jewish society from its beginnings to modern times. The curriculum investigates Jewish heritage through multiple academic lenses—including history, literature, archaeology, philosophy, ethnography, and social theory—while also providing instruction in both classical and contemporary Hebrew language.
