MODERN HEBREW: An Essential Grammer by Lewis Glinert: A Guest Review by Robert John Huffine

 
I've had Mr. Glinert's books now for over ten years. He's the 'Gandalf the Gray' of Teaching Hebrew to English speaking students. I have found NO MISTAKES in his publications. Everything is Vowel-Pointed. There are Exercises and as the back of the book says; "a richly varied vocabulary ranging from the elegant to the very colloquial(everyday, mundane) . I'm always surprised and not pleasantly so, either, that the "Leaders" and "Teachers" of and in the Hebrew Roots Movement are never, and I do mean NEVER prescribing to their fellow congregants, these kinds of excellent learning materials! Must be a "Control--Issue," you think? Don't let them Sheeple know more than the Mean, Heartless Wolves do..! This book is equally recommended for Beginners as well as Advanced. One of the best, if not THE best book on Hebrew Language and Grammar I've ever seen or heard about. 10 out of 10 Stars in MY category! Lewis Glinert is Professor of Hebrew Studies, Dartmouth College, New Hampshire.
