Fall 2025 - Class is a combination of reading, writing sentences, workbook style questions, watching videos, listening to songs, reading the news, and speaking in Hebrew. Class is thought in Hebrew including emails sent from professor. He is verry understanding and will explain in English if any students need help. As a prerequisite you would have to be able to read and write in Hebrew (comparable to around 3rd or 4th grade level in English) you don't have to understand every word but if you are not able to read and write it will be verry hard to understand what is happening. Reading and understanding is more important than speaking for this class. He does not grade harshly on spelling and is understanding of the students varied levels in experience in Hebrew. Grade based on midterm, final, don't be afraid because the exams are 1 page and include a few grammar questions (for example make a certain work future or past tense), a few sentence translation Hebrew to English and two of one paragraph free response summaries based on texts or videos that were discussed in class. There is also a verbal component to be able to speak in Hebrew about those same materials. Also a extra credit short presentation that can potentially boost a full letter grade. Professor will work with you and want's to see that students care and are learning. He even pushed the midterm a week to give extra time to study. He may not be the clearest on exactly which texts will be on the exams but day of allowed students to write and speak about whatever they were comfortable with. Class meets every day Monday - Friday 9:00 to 9:50 am at Bunch Hall. He is also understanding of other class commitments most were successful even with coming to class only a few times per week.

Fall 2017 - This was such a fun class! If you've taken Elementary Hebrew with Nancy before, you'll probably find that this class is significantly more challenging and demanding, but it is a much more rewarding experience because while 1A-1C focus mainly on laying down the foundations of Hebrew grammar, 102A-102C all focus on learning more about Israeli culture and literature, while also practicing actual conversational skills. Homework requires a LOT of writing and takes quite a bit of time, but luckily Nancy is pretty lenient with late work and will usually grade work for full credit no matter how late in the quarter it is up until like Thursday of Week 10.

By far, my favorite professor at UCLA. Sabar brings depth and emotion to learning Hebrew. I liked Sabar because he truly has a heart of gold, and without inflicting religious values (that are intricately intertwined with this language), you can see his values reflected in the literature he chooses, the way he treats the students and the kinds of discussions he brings into the class.
