CRAZY HERB’S HEBREW WORDS OR MEMORY SYSTEMS FOR LEARNING JEWISH CULTURE AND MODERN HEBREW
Available as an E-Book (revised 2009) or a paperback (2007) with supplement(2009)
This book puts into practice the memory aids recommended by the great memory teachers and virtually every "memory expert" because
it uses pictures you will see in your own mind to remind you of the word's meaning;
it helps you remember everything from Hebrew vocabulary and grammar to the names of the Prophets and more.
If you are just beginning or at any level in the study of Hebrew or Jewish Culture you would apply these and supercharge your ability to remember.

Dear Herb:
I just finished your book and wanted to share with you that you were right on... I learned while I laughed. An additional benefit of your methods is that they encourage the imagination - especially the crazy kind. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and learned mnemonic techniques which will probably stay with me from this point on, since every time I will wish to forget them, an image of a woman asking for a get will pop into my mind... I'm hooked !!!. Thank you for sharing it with me. Take care,

Dear Herb,
…I am enjoying your book tremendously. I have learned the months, the Ten Commandments, the prophets and writings (almost) and am working on the names of the vowels. This is a great system, and, as you have said, is really fun.
As a teacher, I am going to try using your illustrations with the Hay class students who seem to want to learn more Hebrew.
Wishing you a happy and a healthy New Year.
Sincerely,
Joan Zuckerman

...Now, for someone who has lived in Israel for the past 15 years, I picked up the copy of the book that Herb had handed me and was not expecting much. Boy was I wrong. After 5 minutes I was already using Herb's techniques to remember things. Just amazing. Easy to use, fun. Funny. A useful addition to the Hebrew beginner's library. And as it turns out it is helpful to us "advanced" users.

Read Rabbi Benjamin Sendrow's remarks and imagine how these techniques can change your (and your students') entire outlook towards Hebrew and Jewish Culture and make it fun again to teach and learn.
By the way, as long as your interest is in learning memory techniques as it applies to Hebrew and Jewish Culture it doesn't matter your starting point as shown by:

Recently, Herb Fried presented an overview of his book, Crazy Herb’s..., to the three congregations which make up the Downtown Alliance of Churches in Fort Myers, Florida: First Baptist Church, First Presbyterian Church, and First United Methodist Church. Everyone was captivated by Herb’s wit and interesting way of teaching the basics of the Hebrew language and key events in Jewish history. The event also became a delightful experience in building more communicative, healthy Jewish/Christian relationships.

Useful Links: Although none of these use my memory techniques (yet!) they are worth looking into. Notice I even refer you to "competing" Hebrew websites because my methods enhance whatever methods are being used..
