All rights reserved. www.thekefar.com HEBREW PHONICS PUZZLES Educator’s Guide Thank you for using The Kefar’s Hebrew Phonics Puzzles! These are great tools for helping learners strengthen their Hebrew spelling skills and increase their vocabularies. This Educator’s Guide will explain how to read Hebrew, and how to use these phonics puzzles with your learners. Reading Hebrew Hebrew is a Semitic language with a writing system in which every symbol (letter) represents a consonant. Vowels in Hebrew are made up of dots and dashes that are added underneath, above, or to the left of Hebrew letters. These vowels, called niqqud, help Hebrew students learn how to pronounce words. As learners become more familiar with the language, and their vocabularies increase, they are able to read words without niqqud, supplying the correct vowel sounds based on their knowledge of Hebrew. There are three vowel sounds in this Hebrew Phonics Puzzles packet: ;These vowels [ ָ ַ ] make the “ah” sound, as in father This vowel [ ֶ ] makes the “eh” sound, as in bed; and .This vowel [ ֵ ] makes the “ei” sound, as in weigh To read, blend the sound of each Hebrew letter with the vowel sound (in that order). Note that Hebrew is read and written from right to left. is pronounced “seifel” - Samech + ei vowel ֵס ֶפל Example 1: The word (sei) / Fey + eh vowel (feh) / Lamed (l) is pronounced “aleh” - Ayin + ah vowel ָע ֶלה Example 2: The word (ah) / Lamed + eh vowel (leh) / Hey (h) Hebrew Phonics Puzzles ©2018 by The Kefar.

  • Summary of Jordan Penkower on Reading <I
    Summary of Jordan Penkower on reading Zekher or Zeikher Amalek Summary of Jordan Penkower on reading Zekher or Zeikher Amalek This post originally appeared here. It is a summary of Prof. Jordan Penkower’s Minhag u-Mesorah: ‘Z-kh-r Amalek’ be-hamesh o be-shesh nekudot by his student Yosef Peretz. It appears here with permission, with some additions by the Seforim Blog editor. It is common practice in most Ashkenazi congregations to read the words z-kh-r Amalek, in Deut. 25:19, twice: once with a tzere under the zayin (zeikher) and once with asegol (zekher). Sephardic congregations, however, who do not distinguish between the pronunciation of these two vowels, read it only once, and they point it with a tzere. What is the origin of this practice, when did it begin, and is this double reading necessary to fulfill the command of reading these verses of Parshat Zakhor, the special reading on the Sabbath before Purim? These questions are discussed in several articles by R. Mordechai Breuer and Dr. J. Penkower,[1] two of the most eminent among contemporary scholars of the masorah and Biblical text. In their opinion, zeikher with a tzere is beyond a shadow of doubt the original and correct pointing of the text; and that is how the verse should be read in Parshat Zakhor. It must be stressed that the custom itself of a double reading is quite surprising and completely unique in Torah reading, for it was customary to decide in favor of one reading or another whenever there was a conflict between variant readings, pointing of vowels, or assignment of cantillation marks (as in cases of kri and ktiv, where a word is written one way but read another).

  • Is Modern Hebrew Standard Average European? the View from European *
    Is Modern Hebrew Standard Average European? The View from European * Amir Zeldes Abstract In contrast with previous work emphasizing European influences on Modern Hebrew as compared to the Biblical Hebrew model adopted by the Hebrew revival movement, this article sets out to examine relevant typological features of Modern Hebrew in its own right. Taking the typological literature on Standard Average European as a starting point, it is argued that Modern Hebrew is in fact quite far from the European type in the majority of pertinent features defined independently of the literature on Hebrew. Notwithstanding the many European influences present in Modern Hebrew, especially in phonology and semantics, and considerable differences compared to Biblical Hebrew, it will be shown that key structural similarities with European languages are remarkably few, and in most cases not due to the revival process at all. Keywords: SAE, Ivrit, Biblical Hebrew, language contact 1. Introduction The typological nature of Modern Hebrew has been the focus of much debate since its infancy. Already in the 1920s, when the first generation of native Modern Hebrew speakers was negotiating what would become the normalized grammar of the new language, 1 views from contemporary Semitists were expressed to the effect that the language spoken by Jewish settlers in British Palestine was in some way inauthentic, ‘un-Semitic’, and in particular European: The attempt to solve that task [=the modernization of Hebrew] without preparation had to lead to a feigned solution: to a Hebrew, that in reality was a European language in transparent Hebrew disguise , with outwardly general European traits and individual language peculiarities, but with only totally superficial Hebrew character.

    religions Article e Pronunciation of the Words “mor” and “yabolet” in a Cairo Genizah Fragment of Bavli Eruvin 102b–104a Uri Zur Department of Moreshet Israel, Ariel University, Kiryay ha-Mada, Ariel 40700, Israel; [email protected] Received: 10 February 2020; Accepted: 9 March 2020; Published: 17 March 2020 Abstract: This article refers to a Cairo Genizah fragment related to Bavli, Tractate Eruvin 102b–104a, identified as Cambridge, UL T-S F2 (2) 23. FGP No. C 98948. In the fragment, there are two words, “mor” and “yabolet”, which were written as vocalized by the scribe or copyist. Their pronunciation differs fromthat customary today, i.e., “mar” and “yabelet”. The purpose of this paper is to explain how this pronunciation was generated, the evolvement and development of this pronunciation as it appears in the fragment, and to examine whether there are additional words in other sources that were pronounced similarly. This paper begins with a description of the Genizah fragment and continues with a reproduction of the fragment itself. Keywords: Eruvin; Genizah; sugya; pronunciation; Hebrew word 1. Introduction The fragment is a segment from the Cairo Genizah, and it relates to Tractate Eruvin of the Babylonian Talmud (102b), identified as Cambridge U-L T-S F2 (2) 23 (Figure 1). Here, we shall refer to one folio of the fragment, whose number in the Friedberg Jewish Manuscript Society is C98948, selected at random. The fragment is a parchment that was damaged on the (left) outer-bottom corner. It is faded andillegible on the outer edge. The number of lines in the fragment is 44, of which 15 full lines survived atthetopof fragment.
