Pronunciation guide[edit]

The Hebrew alphabet consists entirely of consonants (an abjad), though some can function as vowels. Vowels are indicated with a system of dots and dashes next to the letters, but these are normally omitted except in Bibles and children's books. It is common for words, especially foreign words, to be spelled in more than one way; the Abu-l`afia Synagogue has five different spellings of its name on its signs.

The stress is usually on the last syllable; most of the exceptions are segol-ates (words in which segol, the /e/-sound), such as elef "thousand". Some words have a diphthong "ua" or "ia" which is one syllable but sounds like two, like English "oil". This is called patah gnuva "stolen /a/-sound" and occurs in שבוע shavua[`] "week", which is stressed on the -u-.

In conversational Hebrew, only three letters (בכפ) are pronounced differently when they contain a dot in the center called a dagesh.

Five letters (מנצפכ) have a different form at the end of a word (-sofit - so) סופית respectively). These are named by adding ,םןץףךFEET) "final" to the name of the letter, e.g. נון סופית (nun sofit - noon so-feet)

alef (', a) אglottal-stop (IPA: /ʔ/) or silent (sometimes used as the letter a when rendering English in Hebrew)bet, vet (b, v) ב ּבwith a dot like big; without a dot like move gimel (g) גlike go dalet (d) דlike dark he (h) הlike he or silent at the end of a word with a preceding -a or -e vav (v, o, u) וlike violin; some dialects pronounce as week; also or or moon when used as a vowel zayin (z) זlike zoo het (h) חNormally as Scottish ch in loch and as German Bach (IPA: /χ/). Some people pronounce it as the Arabic ح (IPA: /ħ/) tet (t) טas t in stick yud (y, e, i) יlike yet; also say or honey when used as a vowel kaf, khaf (k, kh) כ ּכ ךwith a dot like skip; without a dot like the Scottish ch in loch and as German Bach (IPA: /χ/)

lamed (l) לlike leave, pronounced more forward in the mouth. mem (m) מ םlike mother nun (n) נ ןlike never samekh (s) סlike some (`) ayin` עsimilar to Cockney pronunciation of Air (IPA: /ʔ/) and sometimes silent. Some people pronounce it as a constriction of the throat as in the Arabic ع (IPA: /ʕ/) peh, feh (p, f) פ ּפ ףwith a dot like spoon; without a dot off tsadi (ts) צ ץas boots qof (q) קAs in skip resh (r) רpronounced as the French r (IPA: [ʁ]). Some pronounce it rolled as in Spanish burro (IPA: [r]) sin, shin (sh, s) ׁש ׂשwith a right-hand dot like shoot (IPA: [ʃ]), or with a left-hand dot like see tav (t) תas t in stickAdding an apostrophe (geresh) to some letters may change their sounds.

'גas j in jam (IPA: [dʒ]) 'זas s in pleasure (IPA: [ʒ]) (tsh) 'צ' ץas ch in chat (IPA: [tʃ])Phrase list[edit]

Hebrew verbs conjugate according to the gender of the sentence's subject: different verb forms must thus be used when referring to men and women. These have been noted below when appropriate.

In everyday life, most Israelis use the Gregorian Calendar. The month names pronunciation resembles Central-European (e.g. German) pronunciation.

January ("Yanuar") ינוארFebruary ("Februar") פברוארMarch ("Merts") מרץApril ("April") אפרילMay (May - Mah-ee") מאיJune ("Yuni - Yuh-nee") יוניJuly ("Yuli - Yuh-lee") יולי

August ("Ogust - O-guh-st") אוגוסטSeptember ("September") ספטמברOctober ("October") אוקטוברNovember ("November") נובמברDecember ("Detsember") דצמברFor holidays and events, Israeli Jews and Jews worldwide use a lunisolar calendar, in which the month begins at the new moon and a thirteenth month is added every few years. The months start with Tishrei (Sept.-Oct.) and run through Elul (August-September); thus Elul 5760 is followed by Tishrei 5761. "Aviv," the word for "spring," is sometimes substituted for "Nisan" and is also the name of a stage that the growth of barley reaches at that time.

Luggage costs extra in either case.Eating[edit]

In Israel, many restaurants and eating places are kosher meaning that they observe the Jewish dietary laws of kashrut. For a restaurant to be officially kosher and have a Kosher Certificate, in addition to serving only correctly prepared kosher food, it must also not open on the Shabbat - from sundown on Friday through sundown on Saturday.

In many places in Israel such as Tel Aviv, there are non-kosher restaurants that will open on Shabbat and will serve non-kosher food (e.g. the restaurant serves both meat and milk dishes). Comparatively few places serve non-kosher food items like pork.

In some religious villages and small towns there are very few if any places that open on Shabbat.
