Holy Language Institute

Holy Language Institute is an online school of discipleship directed by Izzy Avraham. It describes itself as Messiah-centered and says it is "all about Yeshua: knowing and following HIM more closely." It operates entirely online, is run by volunteers and is structured as a charity.

Its video courses are self-paced and cover Hebrew, Bible and history. Hebrew Quest teaches the alphabet, grammar and reading the Hebrew Bible. Grammar Quest covers Biblical Hebrew in depth, and Hebrew Verses reads Scripture and prays with a teacher. Other courses include Bible translation reviews, E-Sword software tutorials, preaching through the Torah and New Testament, and Mishnah studies. A history track covers the Hebrew New Testament and nineteenth-century Messianic Judaism. Membership costs $25 a month or $250 a year and covers a whole household. The institute offers no credits or degrees, saying its program follows the Master's way of discipleship.

A publishing arm reissues rare and out-of-print works. Its titles include a first-century siddur, a Messianic hymnal, a psalter and a devotional Jewish reading of the Gospels. It also publishes historical collections on figures such as Franz Delitzsch, Isaac Salkinson and Joseph Samuel Frey. Its reviews cover Jewish, Messianic, Hebrew Roots and Christian Bibles, and it warns against Sacred Name Bibles.

Members connect through an online community called the Tribe, a student map and messaging groups. With a partner Messianic Jewish ministry, the institute streams live Hebrew prayer services. These include Kabbalat Shabbat, Shabbat Shacharit with a Torah service, Havdalah and a Sunday morning Shacharit, all scheduled in Central time.
