Trope is the system of symbols that identify the melodies to which Torah is chanted. In this class, you will learn to identify those symbols and how to chant the words of Torah based on the music associated with each symbol. You will also learn how to actually chant from the Torah scroll (which has no vowels, punctuation, or tropes!). Hebrew comprehension is not required, but students do need to be able to read Hebrew with vowels (slowly). This class will prepare you for the joyful obligation of chanting Torah for the community, and doing so is an expectation for successful students - and you will certainly be successful! Class will be taught at the home of our expert teacher Sara-Jane Cohen - address provided upon registration.
