A Few Words About Me:

Judith Green has been teaching Classical Greek to graduate students at the Hebrew University for decades. Students from Israel, China, South Korea, Japan, Eastern Europe, Great Britain and many other countries;  students who understand that knowing Greek is the key to their study of ancient history, classical archaeology, Jewish and Christian thought and the sacred writings of Jews, Christians and pagans.  Although trained originally in Classical Greek, her extended stays in Greece and the Balkans exposed her to the Greek Orthodox Church, spoken Greek and Byzantine art, which became a special interest. She finds teaching Greek of the New Testament and the Septuagint, the Greek Old Testament, to students from all over the world through online courses at the Israel Institute of Biblical Studies as natural culmination of all of her interests.
