A Hebrew Lesson

I have had a desire to learn Hebrew for many years now.  However, I can honestly say that it is probably not going to happen!  I have searched the internet for lesson plans, such as the one offered by The Rosetta Stone, and they are usually too far out of my budget.  Besides, learning a new language at my age, I have been told, is not easy.  But every now and then I run across a word or a phrase in Hebrew and it moves me and renews my desire to be able to speak and understand the language God's chosen people used to communicate with Him.

Since I am too old and too poor to learn the language (there is a smile in that phrase!), I thought it would be fun to share the Hebrew words and phrases I have run across by posting them here on the blog.  Now, if I could just retain them (and learn their syntax, accents, and pronunciations!), I would be on my way to learning Hebrew! (another smile!)

If you have any Hebrew phrases or words you would like to share, I would be most grateful if you would just drop them in the comment box for me and others to enjoy!

a-ha-vah (Love),

Karen
