The Torah was written with the letters of the Aleph Bet and the entire universe was created with Ten Utterances using the same holy letters. Teaching a child how to read Hebrew is a holy task. Teaching a student the Aleph Bet will serve The Aleph Champ as a foundation for life, spiritually affecting Program is based on his/her soul and belief in G-d. The Lubavitcher “the Chabad Mesorah, Rebbe writes: “I had pleasure reading… that you or tradition. teach your class according to the Mesorah of our holy ancestors, Komatz Aleph Uh. Concerning the holiness of the Aleph Beis letters and the Nekudos, it is ” known that they originate from Moshe Rabbeinu who received it from Hashem at Har Sinai. This is known and obvious in the Zohar and in Tikkunei- Zohar. And not only the letters and Nekudos themselves, but also their names. It is written in the above places that the names of the Nekudos are actually the acronym of the names of Malochim, etc." The Aleph Champ Program is based on the Chabad Mesorah, or tradition. First the letters and their names are introduced. Only after is the child taught the Nekudot (vowels) and how to combine them with the letters to make sounds. Learn more about the Mesorah at www.Alephchamp.com Page 3 בס”ד ALEPH CHAMP THEORY Developed after the karate motivational system of colors and levels The Aleph Champ Program is a brainstorm idea developed after the karate motivational system of colors and levels. The entire Kriah system is divided into levels of different colors. This arrangement ensures that students learn to read Hebrew in an efficient, well-organized method. Aleph Champ takes a lot of groundwork; the program will not run on its own, but the results are tremendous and well worth the effort. Learning to read is broken In the Aleph Champ Program, reading down into manageable goals groups are divided by color instead of “where students can clearly age group, thereby allowing conscientious students to surpass the gauge their progress. Every pace of their class and advance in color mastered gives students reading on their own. the confidence to keep on going. I have never seen a When a student steps into a karate class, program motivate children it is very clear what level everyone is on. where success was their The teacher is a Black Belt. Some reward until Aleph Champ! students who have been studying for years are Purple or even Brown Belts. - An Aleph Champ Director Beginners wear White Belts and there is a plethora of other colored belts. The requirements necessary to advance fro”m level to level is clearly delineated and the reward is merely the change in belt color, a change in status. When a student steps into an Aleph Champ room, it is very clear what level everyone is on. The teacher is a Black Champ, wearing a Black Medal. Beginner students are wearing White or Red Medals and advanced students are wearing Purple or even Brown Medals. Aleph Champ ensures that students do not go on to a new level until they have truly mastered all that their current level expects them to know. This avoids the common problem of children learning to read without fully mastering a letter, vowel or concept in reading.

The stripes create goals within one level. Be sure not to rush students or pass them to the next level before they are ready! Page 5 בס”ד HOW IT WORKS Who is it for? Aleph Champ was originally created to be used within the Hebrew School framework where students learn Hebrew once a week. Today, Aleph Champ is used within many teaching settings, such as at home, in day schools, and as part of adult classes. The program is geared for grades 1 and above. Allow students below grade 1 to learn the Aleph Bet letters in a relaxed, story-based setting using hands-on materials, puppets and scrapbooks. When these younger students reach Aleph Champ age, the first 2 levels of White and Red will be a mere review of the Aleph Bet. How long is an Aleph Champ lesson? The suggested Aleph Champ lesson is 45 minutes since a half hour can be too short and one hour can be too long. The 45 minute lessons go by very quickly when following our suggested schedule. See Daily Schedule on page 9 How do I set up the classroom? The ideal way to run Aleph Champ is to have one Aleph Champ Room where all students study at the same time. This adds excitement and fun. Each level within Aleph Champ has its own table. Each level has its own teacher and is run like a mini class, following the daily schedule. Having enough staff is crucial. A manageable group size is 8 students per teacher, with an assistant. If you don’t have enough teachers, call on parents, Hebrew School alumni, and volunteers to help out. A successful Aleph Champ needs enough staff to go around. Each level has its own color coded bin/container The ideal way to with all the material needed. run Aleph Champ See Materials on page 19 “ is to have one Aleph Champ If you don’t have space for an Aleph Champ Room, Room where all each teacher may teach Aleph Champ individually students study in their own classroom. The challenge is that while in the Aleph Champ Room your students would split at the same time. according to level, here you will have students on multiple levels within one class, and you will have to ” juggle. Page 6 Staff בס”ד Aleph Champ runs successfully when there is enough staff. Groups should be kept small and should not exceed more than 8 students per teacher. You can never As Aleph Champ teachers, it is important to have too much understand the overall method of Aleph Champ and be “staff in an Aleph familiar with the ‘rules’ before teaching. Champ Room There is more to Aleph Champ than just reading and writing exercises. It is the details and - believe it or not - the rules and guidelines that make the program exciting. ” Be sure to train with your head teacher at the beginning of the year and give thought and prepare your lessons throughout the year for you to see results! Discipline Behavioral problems are unacceptable in the Aleph Champ Room. Truth be told, the schedule is so tight it leaves little room for students to misbehave. A common reason for behavioral issues is that the student is experiencing difficulty in reading or is too advanced for the group and does not feel challenged. Try to assess the issue yourself before bringing it to the attention of head teacher or contacting the parents. Homework Homework has become fun! This year, for the first time ever, your students can practice and continue to learn Hebrew reading by logging on to our brand new, award winning Aleph Champ Kids website and enjoying an Aleph Champ wonderland. Review games, audio reading practice, and interactive, graded activities are all a click away, and you, as the teacher, can track it all! There is an annual membership fee per child. Website registration opens in Elul, 5774/September 2014. Stay tuned! Another homework option is the Aleph Champ Almanac. The Almanac is a great way for students to practice Hebrew reading at home. It is one small reader with review reading pages for levels White through Blue.

    UNITED NATIONS Working Paper No. 2 GROUP OF EXPERTS ON GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES Twenty-second Session New York, 20 -29 April 2004 Item 16 of the Provisional Agenda MEETING OF THE WORKING GROUP ON PRONUNCIATION Pronunciation Guide for Hebrew Geographical Names* *Prepared by Prof. Naftali Kadmon, Israel, Chairman, East Mediterranean Division other than Arabic) 1 Pronunciation Guide for Hebrew Geographical Names Hebrew is a Semitic language, and its script, written from right to left, is alphabetic-defective1: the basic system of consonant letters is augmented by the vowels which are represented chiefly by points or marks below, within and above the consonants. The correct pronunciation of Hebrew presumes the presence of fully-pointed text, i.e. that all vowels are marked, but this is found in practice only in clerical or instructional/educational texts. The vowel marks are usually omitted in everyday writing and print since Israelis are taught to read without them, but a method of substituting some vowels markers by the two consonant letters ? and ? (ketiv malé, i.e. plene orthography) is generally used to facilitate reading and is applied also to geographical names. Hebrew has no capital letters. This guide is designed to enable foreign users both to read names in Hebrew maps, and to approximately correctly pronounce Hebrew names in their romanized form. Generalizing, Hebrew is pronounced in either a "Western" mode (WP) or an "Eastern" one (EP). One of the chief differences lies in the fact that the former ignores the gutturalization of the consonants and ? . Stress is not indicated in Hebrew script, but is predominantly on the final syllable, less frequently on the penultimate one.

  • Roger Lass the Idea: What Is Schwa?
    Stellenbosch Papers in Linguistics, Vol. 15, 1986, 01-30 doi: 10.5774/15-0-95 SPIL 15 (]986) 1 - 30 ON SCHW.A. * Roger Lass The idea: what is schwa? Everybody knows what schwa is or do they? This vene- rable Hebraic equivocation, with its later avatars like "neutral vowel", MUT'melvokaZ, etc. seems to be solidly es­ tablished in our conceptual and transcriptional armories. Whether it should be is another matter. In its use as a transcriptional symbol, I suggest, it represents a somewhat unsavoury and dispensable collection of theoretical and empirical sloppinesses and ill-advised reifications. It also embodies a major category confusion. That is, [8J is the only "phonetic symbol" that in accepted usage has only "phonological" or functional reference, not (precise) phone­ tic content. As we will see, there is a good deal to be said against raJ as a symbol for unstressed vowels, though there is often at least a weak excuse for invoking it. But "stressed schwa", prominent in discussions of Afrikaans and English (among other languages) is probably just about inex­ ·cusable. v Schwa (shwa, shva, se wa , etc.) began life as a device in Hebrew orthography. In "pointed" or "vocalized" script (i.e. where vowels rather than just consonantal skeletons are represented) the symbol ":" under a consonant graph appa­ rently represented some kind of "overshort" and/or "inde­ terminate" vowel: something perhaps of the order of a Slavic jeT', but nonhigh and generally neither front nor back though see below. In (Weingreen 1959:9, note b) it is described as,"a quick vowel-like sound", which is "pronounced like 'e' in 'because'''.

  • Yehovah, This Latecomer in the Rendering of Our Creator's Name
    2 ehovah, this latecomer in the rendering of our Creator’s Name, has gained popularity within the Messianic and Hebrew Roots Ycommunities. However, there are serious linguistic flaws with this pronunciation. Before discussing those, however, it’s important to understand the premise of those who advocate “Yehovah.” This rendering is based on late medieval Hebrew manuscripts of the Old Testament that show the four letters yod-hey-waw-hey [hwhy] with the vowel points from Adonai. Within these manuscripts or codices there are several instances where the vowel points for “Yehovah” (English, “Jehovah”) are found. Based on this fact, it is theorized that the scribes who produced these manuscripts accidentally preserved the name “Yehovah” by not removing the vowel points. There are serious flaws with this hypothesis and logic as you will soon see. Scribal Error? For those who believe this was a scribal error, it’s important to realize that Jewish scribes were ultra-meticulous. After copying a text, scribes would painstakingly review the script for any errors. The thought that a scribe would overlook numerous instances of the same mistake is unthinkable. According to the Jewish Talmud, there were 20 steps a scribe would go 3 through to ensure textual accuracy. Below are some of these steps: • The scribe must be a learned, pious Jew, who has undergone special training and certification. • All materials (parchment, ink, quill) must conform to strict specifications, and be prepared specifically for the purpose of writing a Torah scroll. • The scribe must pronounce every word out loud before copying it from the correct text.

Welcome to Hebrew! In studying Hebrew, you’re joining mil- Blions of other Hebrew speakers around the world. Its two centers are Israel (of course), and North America, which is home to many Hebrew news- papers, Hebrew-speaking camps and schools, and institutions. You’re also speaking the Bible’s original language and one of the most ancient languages still spoken today. Furthermore, you’re speaking the only language in the his- tory of the world known to have undergone a revival, returning fully to being a spoken language after hundreds — perhaps even two thousand — years of being relegated to correspondence, literature, and the sacred world of prayer and the Bible. Hebrew was once almost exclusively a holy language — a language of prayers and ritual, of the Bible and other sacred texts, and a language above the hum- drum of the everyday. No longer true. That same ancient and holy tongue is now the language of sunbathing on the beach, eating dinner, going to the doctor, and the myriad of everyday life. All languages are portals — openings to culture and friendship, literature and ideas. Discover any one, and a whole new world opens up to you.

  • Dimensions in Chumash
    Rabbi Immanuel Bernstein 2019 / 5780 DIMENSIONS IN CHUMASH Parshas Lech Lecha Concept: How Vowels Reveal the Character of a Word in Torah Our Parsha relates how Sarah, after being childless for many years, suggests to Avraham that he take her maidservant, Hagar, as a wife, which he proceeds to do. The verse then states: ָ ּוַיֹ֥בֶא אָל־הָ֖גַר ּותַ֑הַ ר ֵּ וַתֶ֙ר֙א ִּ֣ כָי ה ָ֔רָתַה ֵּ ותַ֥ק ְּל ּגִבְרת ָּ֖ה ְּבֵע ֶֽינָיה׃ He came unto Hagar and she conceived, she saw that she had conceived and her mistress (Sarah) became light in her eyes. BACKGROUND: NOTES WHICH GIVE US PAUSE There is actually something very unusual about this verse, although admittedly, it is not something we would automatically notice. As we know, there are times when the nikkud (vowelization) of a word changes. This will happen when the word appears either X At the end of a verse, or X At the strongest pause within the verse. This is known as the pausal form. Frequently in such case, a patach will change to a kamatz. A simple illustration of this idea can be seen in a verse at the beginning of our parsha,1 which reads: ּוַי ְֵּצ֗או ָלֶלֶ֙כ ַ֣ת֙ אְרָצה ְּ כנַ֔עַן ּוַיָבֹ֖ ּאו ַאְ֥רָצה ְּ כָֽנַען׃ They set out to go to the land of Canaan, and they came to the land of Canaan in the middle of the verse has a patach under the letternun , while כנען We note that the word the same word at the end of the verse has a kamatz. In light of the above, let us consider our verse.

  • Responses to Several Hebrew Related Items
    Responses to Several Hebrew Related Items Jony Rosenne, June 7, 2004. Phoenician While I do not intend to oppose the proposal, there is a problem that should be addressed: The Phoenician script (if it is a script - I don't want to go into that) had been also used to write Hebrew, and there is a certain volume of Hebrew texts in the Phoenician script. They were even sometimes mixed, as was the case that was mentioned with certain Dead Sea scrolls that used the older script for spelling out the divine name. When used for Hebrew, the Phoenician script is equivalent to the Hebrew script, and in this case should not be distinguished for sorting and searching. The situation is not the same as Serbo-Croatian, where the same language is written in two different scripts, because in the case of Hebrew and Phoenician there is an extremely simple and precise rule - there is a one to one correspondence between the Phoenician characters and the corresponding subset of Hebrew, namely the 22 non-final letters. Whatever is the decision of the UTC, this problem ought to be addressed. Meteg It should be noted that the issues discussed in the proposal are relevant to a specific use of Hebrew, namely Biblical Hebrew, and irrelevant to general use. The UTC should consider any possible impact on other users of Hebrew. It should be specified that an implementation of Unicode Hebrew for general use is not required to handle CGJ, ZWJ, or ZWNJ, or to place the Meteg anywhere other than indicated by the combining class, or indeed to display it at all.

In 1944, Ornan was detained in a British detention camp in Eritrea, where he taught Hebrew grammar to his fellow detainees from Erets Israel. In 1947, still in the camp, he published his Grammar of Mouth and Ear. After the detainees were freed in 1948 the book was reprinted in abridged edition several times in Israel. In 2016, Ornan completed a thoroughly revised edition of the book, compatible with current progress of linguistics (Jerusalem: The eH brew University Magnes Press).
