Vis-Ed Biblical Hebrew Vocabulary Flash Cards
This set contains over 1200 words from the vocabulary of the Hebrew Bible. Take them with you and use them every day for reinforcement of your Hebrew. An indispensible Resource! Amazon.

Biblical Hebrew: Step-by-Step. Menahem Mansoor has written two volumes of an introductory grammar. These books might be suitable for those who want a less rigorous approach to the subject than Pratico, Ross, or the Kelly textbooks. Amazon.

The First Hebrew Primer provides a more gradual, yet thorough, approach to standard Biblical Hebrew grammars by dividing topics into 30 logical lessons. An additional Answer Key is useful for self-study. A good choice for adult learners. Amazon.

Ivrit: Shalav Aleph (Hebrew: A Language Course Level One) provides an inductive approach to learning Hebrew. Prerequisites for using this book include a working knowledge of the phonetics and mechanics of Hebrew. Note that this book is intended as a beginner's guide for Modern Hebrew (not Biblical Hebrew).

Biblical Hebrew. Page H. Kelly has written an excellent introductory text to Biblical Hebrew. The separately sold workbook is a must-have item. This is one of the better intermediate-level grammars I've seen so far. Highly recommended. Amazon.

Basics of Biblical Hebrew. Gary Pratico and Miles Van Pelt have collaborated on a fine seminary-level introduction to Biblical Hebrew grammar. An accompanying workbook is not included but should be considered mandatory for writing exercises. Amazon.

Introducing Biblical Hebrew. Allen P. Ross has written a grammar that has grown out of his experience teaching Hebrew to seminary students for over thirty years. This is a good book, and I would recommend it for use in a classroom setting. The phonetics (transliterations) are a bit scholarly, however.

Invitation to Biblical Hebrew. Russell Fuller (Ph.D., Hebrew Union College). This clear, accurate, and pedagogically sound textbook emphasizes the basics: Hebrew phonology (sounds) and morphology (forms). This grammar avoids jargon or technical language. (not rated)

Beginning Biblical Hebrew (Hardcover). Mark Futato. A decent introduction to Biblical Hebrew, that does not go as far as Kelly or Pratico, but is generally more accessible for those getting into the world of Hebrew. (not rated)

Biblical Hebrew: An Introductory Textbook. Nancy deClaissé-Walford. A very user-friendly, basic introduction to Classical Hebrew. Intended for beginning students with no previous knowledge of the language. No companion workbook is available. (not rated)

Grammatical Concepts 101 for Biblical Hebrew. This volume is a helpful counterpart to textbooks of Biblical Hebrew. Explanations of grammatical concepts and terms provide students with the framework they need to understand language structures. (not rated)

Biblical Hebrew: A Text and Workbook (Yale Language Series). Each of the 55 lessons in this large textbook is built around a biblical verse or segment that generates the grammatical concepts to be taught. An inductive approach. The typesetting is a bit odd.

A Guide to Biblical Hebrew Syntax by Bill T. Arnold and John H. Choi. A concise guide intended to help you master the intermediate-level skills required to interpret the syntax of the Bible's original language.

The Vocabulary Guide of Biblical Hebrew.
Pratico and Miles Van Pelt have collaborated to produce a word-frequency guide to Hebrew words appearing in the Tanakh. Optional but nice to have. For ease of use, however, I would recommend the VIS-Ed cards, shown above.

501 Hebrew Verbs : Fully Conjugated in All the Tenses. Barrows. This book presents each verb on a full page, completely conjugated in all tenses. Note that this book is based on word roots, so you must know the root word before lookup. (advanced)

The Wisdom in the Hebrew Alphabet is perhaps the definitive work on the subject of the Hebrew otiyot (letters) and their mystical significance from an Orthodox Jewish perspective. Rabbi Michael Munk draws upon his vast knowledge of Torah, Talmud, and Kabbalistic literature to produce the best book on the subject to date. 

The Hebrew Alphabet: A Mystical Journey by Rabbi Edward Hoffman is more of a gift book than a serious study of the Hebrew alphabet. There are some good insights in the book, however.

The Book of Letters by Rabbi Lawrence Kushner is pretty much a waste of money. If you can find it cheap and used, then it's entertaining, but for any serious effort to appreciate the Hebrew Alphabet, go with Rabbi Munk's book instead. An arty book with not a lot of substance that might make a nice gift for someone. 

The Oracle of Kabbalah: Mystical Teachings of the Hebrew Letters by Richard Seidman and Lawrence Kushner.  Another wild ride into the speculative nuances that the Hebrew text can evoke and suggest. This is Kabbalistic mysticism: read at your own risk!

The Inner Meaning of the Hebrew Letters by Robert M. Haralick. A gematria-styled look at the Hebrew alphabet, based on permutations and other forms of Kabbalistic technique.  Not recommended for new learners of Hebrew or those who are unsure of their faith.

The Secrets of Hebrew Words by Benjamin Blech. A sod-level analysis of various Hebrew words that uses gematria and other speculative methods to draw inferences.  A sequel volume (More Secrets of Hebrew Words) is also available through Amazon.

Experience the Jewish Scriptures with the Stone Edition Tanach - all 24 books of the Torah,
Prophets, and Writings newly translated and annotated. Read fascinating commentary by classic sages of Talmudic and Rabbinic literature. Edited by Rabbi Nosson Scherman in collaboration with an international team of scholars.

Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (BHS) is the scholar's first choice for studying the Hebrew Masoretic text. Consider this text mandatory if you are serious about getting into the Hebrew Tanakh and want the scholarly apparatus (i.e., masoretic notes and textual criticism additions) required for doing research.

Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (Paperback Edition) is the less expensive student's edition of the hardcover. The same Masoretic text and critical apparatus is provided, though the text size is smaller and more difficult to read. You can mark the pages of this edition, however!

Prayerbook Hebrew the Easy Way is a best-selling book (with additional workbook) that introduces you to segments of common synagogue prayers. You may also obtain audio CDs of the readings in this book. I like most of what I see from EKS, so I can recommend this title without reservation.

The Beginner's Dictionary of Prayerbook Hebrew was specifically designed to be easy to use. Most Hebrew dictionaries list words alphabetically by root forms. If you do not know the root, you cannot look up the word. This dictionary lists words exactly as they appear in Jewish prayerbooks. Restricted to the Siddur, however.

The Artscroll Interlinear Siddur is the best Orthodox siddur available today, with careful details, excellent typography, and easy-to-use page design. If at all possible, purchase the Shottenstein Edition for both the Weekday prayerbook and the Machzor. You cannot go wrong with these books. 

On the Doorposts of Your House, by Chaim Stern, is a book that provides various Hebrew berachot (blessings) as listed in the Hebrew prayerbook, with Reform Judaism interpretations. Makes a wonderful Bar- or Bat Mitzvah gift for someone you love, too.

Our Father Abraham by Dr. Marvin Wilson is a foundational writing that will help you better understand the impetus behind the Jewish Roots movement and why so many Bible-believing Christians are turning to the Jewish faith for nourishment and strength. For those new to the Hebraic mindset, this is a great place to start your learning!

Israelology: The Missing Link in Systematic Theology by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum provides a complete overview and analysis of the Biblical view of Israel - past, present, and future. Though it is over 1,000 pages, it reads easily and is quite engaging to those who are interested in this vital subject.

Pagan Christianity? by Frank Viola and George Barna. While this book frankly ignores the Jewish roots of the Christian faith, it does catalog various pagan influences emodied in Church traditions that fueled the loss of Messianic Jewish perspective. Helpful for institutional church-goers.

Theologians Under Hitler by Robert P. Ericksen. Three of Germany's great Protestant theological thinkers supported Adolf Hitler: Gerhard Kittel, Paul Althaus, and Emmanuel Hirsch. Kittel, in particular is still widely regarded by NT scholars. 

Our Hands Are Stained with Blood by Michael L. Brown and Don Wilkerson.

Christian Antisemitism: A History of Hate by William Nicholls.
