What is it about?

Now learn save and share Torah verses in this app.First, learning Hebrew vocabulary and grammar is certainly a good and important start. But, you should also learn Biblical Hebrew, as its grammar is markedly different from 'Modern' Hebrew. Most notably, the Torah uses 'Vav Hahipuch' which is a method of adding a vav to the beginning of a verb that 'flips' a future verb to past and past tense to future. This is one of a few examples where Biblical grammar may be different from modern Hebrew.\n It is not necessary to know the meanings of every word in the Torah, but a fairly strong command of grammatical rules will help tremendously in Torah reading. It's not necessary, but it is a big help. It's not 100% required as you could read a Torah portion without knowing the meaning of any words - just by memorizing what to read. But, if you know the meaning, it will help with the verse's grammar. The trope (notes) is primarily for grammatical purposes - not just to sing them.\n(When I read, I'm sometimes unsure of the trope. But, since I understand, mostly, what I'm reading, I can tell that if I group certain words with the wrong trope, the sentence meaning may change, or it won't make sense at all. Certain notes have pauses, similar to a comma in a sentence. If you pause (comma) in the wrong place, you change the sentence's meaning or it doesn't make sense.) It is essential that you practice recognizing Torah script - the shape of the letters in the Torah is significantly different from standard Hebrew font.
