Judith Green, M.A.

Judith Green has been teaching Classical Greek to graduate students at the Hebrew University for decades.  Students from Israel, from 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.  She is a trained classical archaeologist as well as a philologist, and has worked on several large research projects at the Institute of Archaeology which require translation and analysis of Greek and Latin texts and inscriptions relating to the history and geography of ancient Palestine.  Although trained originally in Classical Greek, her extended stays in Greece and the Balkans exposed her to the Greek Orthodox Church, spoke Greek and Byzantine art, which became a special interest.  She has led many informal tour groups from Israel to the Balkans and Cyprus for study of Byzantine churches.  Together with her students in Jerusalem, she has been reading the New Testament with great joy and exploring its intricate connections to the Hebrew Bible and the history of her own Jewish religion.  Living in Jerusalem during a period of intense political and social turmoil  led her to create of several significant organizations which promote dialogue and understanding between Israelis and Arabs, both in Israel and with Palestinians in the West Bank, Christians, Moslems and Jews.  Teaching Greek of the New Testament and the Septuagint, the Greek Old Testament, to students from all over the world through eTeacher is thus a natural culmination of all these interests.
