Starting with Aleph: An On-line Course in Hebrew Reading and Jewish
Values
http://www.ejemm.com/aleph/index.html


This new Website, posted by JeMM, an online multimedia developer
providing Jewish content, presents "a free on-line course for adults
in Hebrew reading and Jewish values." Currently, four lessons are
posted that offer instruction in the basics of the Hebrew alphabet.
Each lesson also features a portion of the midrash commenting upon
the relationship of individual letters of the alphabet to Hebrew
beliefs concerning creation, time, place, and the universe. The
instructional materials help visitors to practice letters, sounds,
and words as well as featuring interactive exercises to test one's
learning. The midrash are presented with animated graphics and audio.
Lessons five through seven are in development and will be posted
soon.
