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)

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.

The Vocabulary Guide of Biblical Hebrew.

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.

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. 

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.

The Christian and the Pharisee: Two Outspoken Religious Leaders Debate the Road to Heaven
