Some will argue that you shouldn't learn words without context. I generally agree, except in the very beginning stages. It IS more useful to learn vocabulary in context from sentences, but in the beginning you don't know ANY Hebrew words. Therefore, learning from sentences, at first, can be difficult and frustrating. In the beginning, learning words individually is useful to build your initial word bank and also learn proper pronunciation. After this early Hebrew-learning stage, however, you should move on to full sentences.
