One of the questions new Hebrew students and bar and bat mitzvah students ask before they begin is which textbooks they should get for their online lessons. Here are Hebrew textbooks, and others, that we recommend to students learning Hebrew based on their specific needs. We use different Hebrew textbooks with different students, choosing the right one for their level and interests. These books are available for easy purchase at Amazon (these are affiliate links – as an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases, which means Amazon pays us a small commission at no extra cost to you).
