Abstract

The article is devoted to the topic of Modern Hebrew education in Russian Federation. In particular, it describes that Hebrew, being the language that was restricted or even completely forbidden to study for many years, todaycan be studied at different levels and various formats: starting from kindergarten and ending with PhD thesis, which applies not only for Jewish people. Hebrew is studied at multiple language courses that are sometimes set up by Jewish organizations. Moreover, in recent years one can see the growth in number of private groups that provide a highly demanded service ofonline-courses. All in all, in the past 30 years the proprietary school of Hebrew teaching was founded that is involved in scientific activities, international conferences and has its own periodical scientific journal.
