The Aleph Bet, the Hebrew Alphabet, has 22 letters (five of which appear in a different form at the end of a word) which are all consonants. Hebrew is written from right to left. During the years a system of vowels called nikud were added, but these are mostly seen in school books and prayer books. Newspapers, signs, magazines and most other printed materials in Israel today do not use nikud. http://www.akhlah.com/aleph_bet/aleph-bet.php 2011 Akhlah Inc en-us Thu, 15 Mar 2012 11:46:29 -0500 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 11:46:19 -0500 FeedForAll v2.0 (2.0.2.1) http://www.feedforall.com Each day Akhlah presents another Hebrew word to help increase your Hebrew vocabulary.
