Falling asleep during the day at inappropriate times We also learned the next letter in the Hebrew Aleph Bet – letter Yud. We learned 4 new Hebrew words all starting with the letter Yud. We discussed how many Yeleds (Boys) and Grinding teeth during sleep Yaldahs (girls) we each have in our family. We learned all about this week’s Parsha–Shemot.
