Major Jeff Martin sends an email to several recipients introducing some basic Hebrew vocabulary they can learn before their upcoming trip to Israel. He encourages learning some words to surprise their guide with good pronunciation skills or to absorb more during lessons in Israel. For those uninterested in learning Hebrew, he includes a polite decline phrase. An attachment contains a short Hebrew vocabulary PDF to get started.

Dear Pilgrims,
I know this is what you have all been waiting for. A chance to learn some Hebrew before you
get to Israel.
There is no better time than now to begin. You will learn some words from the guide, but
wouldn't it be nice to know a few of the words before you get there and surprise the guide
with your expert enunciation of perfect Hebrew? OK, maybe not expert, but extremely good
pronunciation..... OK, would you believe you could speak like a native? Er uh... a native
toddler?
Don't get hung up on perfection. Let's just learn some Hebrew. After all this is a study tour
right?... so you may as well learn some things.... They don't call me the education secretary
for nothin'. My goal is to help you find ways to learn things that will be helpful to you in your
ministry.
The more you learn now, the more you will be able to absorb when we get to Israel. I know
this is not for everyone, so if you have no desire to learn Hebrew then just tell me...Todah
rabah, aval ani lo rotzeh medabehr kitzat Ivrit.
